Looks solid and big enough to not cramp up my hands. It's about 7.5 inches in length (that's what she said) and that is great.
It's definitely big, but I don't think it's unreasonably so. My friends that attended the Sony event seem to like the size. A lot of people that weren't at the even are complaining about it. *shrug*
Blasphemy!!!
Think it will ship for less than $300?
My friends at the Japan presser are all over the place on this one. The guesses are anywhere from $299 to $399. I'll wait for Pachter to guess and make a pick that's different from his.
that sounds like the safest bet. haha.
My guess is $300.
@RROD
I'm pegging it at $350. That puts it between the iPod touch 16gb and 32gb.
I like the specs on it so far. I'll have to get my hands one to see if it feels comfortable in my hands.
who cares if it feels comfortable in your hands?? ITS A QUAD CORE!!!
im kidding of course…back in my day, we played the atari lynx!! and it felt like you were holding a cinder block, and we loved it!!!
