DRM is bad enough...
Imagine how screwed up government-specified standardized DRM could be.

NW-5HD
With a catchy name like that and god awful design, what's not to trump the iPod with.
God, I just noticed I even spelled it wrong! NW-HD5, not NW-5HD, I am so sorry, that is never going to happen to me again....
Oh wait, without looking at my screen, I have already forgotten that name again!
I'll try and type what I can remember, again, without looking:
NW-5HD
ND-HD5
MW-5HD
Sod it, it's no use.
At leaset, it's so ugly, nobody is going to mug you for it, so that's good...

You're all wrong!
This is going to trounce the iPod! Sure, the first couple of "network walkmans" didn't exactly light the market on fire, we all know the fifths time the charm. Esp, as JTVD pointed out, its got that catchy name, the NW-HD5. What black person wouldn't want one of these, then he'd be a "n****r with hard drive 5GB". Its going to turn the hip-hop culture on its ear.

WTF kind of comment is this? I didn't realize that tounge-in-cheek racism was back in style...
I guess LouZer is an apppropriate name after all.

LouZer - that was just wrong. That comment's gonna bite you in the a**. Back on topic, I don't think iPod has much to worry about - yet.

Network?
What does the word Network have to do with this MP3 player? I thought maybe it was if someone nearby also had a Sony NW-5HD ... they would be able to network to each other ... but I see all the Walkman is, is another mp3 player.
