Just a few basic questions!

[Hornby]

Just got my VAIO pocket and I have to admit it's super cool in every possible way apart from SonicStage of course.

Though I still have a few questions, so here they are:

1) Why does the battery discharge after use?

2) All my music files are encoded at 192 Kbps will this drain the battery life of my player?, are their any better rates which would suit my player better if my current rate (192) isnt convenient?

3) Does anyone notice the G-Pad gets confused/weird sometimes?

4) Could you guys post some links with other compatitble headphones they must be SONY? (price dont matter)

5) Any person know where I can get a case for my player, It would have to be delievered to the UK?

Thanks in advance guys!

Really happy with my player, and it certainly is the IPOD killer.

Ipods = common = simple = apple = <profanity removed by moderator>!
Sony = Vaio = style = sturdy = Class!

Dont ask my why i wrote those 2 lines lol ^^^

It is not showing on the site Nickkr.

Do you know where else i can get a case for it.

I have had my player over 1 month.

It has never left the house yet, as i dont have a case for it.


Someone plz help me find one.

No - it isn't on the site. Just PHONE them and ask if they have any in stock. Ask to speak to Trevor

I bought one last week - £39.99 including P&P (next day delivery)
I paid over the phone by credit card.

I hope this helps

A final chance ....

go to eBay and look at item 5782030574

current bid £30 - I will warn you one went for £41 and one for an unbelievable £106

good luck!

[nickkr]

...possibly a final final chance...

ebay item 5782276909

It's a "buy it now " for £45

I bought one yesterday on eBay for £40.

My personal view was ....

1. They have been discontinued.
2. Nobody seems to stock them.
3. I'd rather have genuine Sony - You can't beat that Vaio logo.
4. Although the VP looks and feels impressively solid, I may drop it / scratch it etc etc and I just can't afford or that to happen.

£40 quid well spent in my opinion.

My advice would be to get one when you see it on eBay. The auctions all seems to go to at least £30 or £40, so do like I did and get a buy it now for around £40 for peace of mind.

Just my 2 cents of course.

Headphones dont have to be Sony, I use the Ipod in ear (they dont fall out and sound reasonable), the Sennheiser MDR60 neckstrap over the ear (sound much better) and last AKG K500 monitors which are big over the ear headphones use by studio technicians, have been the standard for years and sound differnce is amazing, only problem they are twice as expensive as the VP ;-(

lol Ived just ordered mine off Ebay for 45 quid.

Just glad ived got one now.

The sad part is that I could have bought it for 9.99 but decided to wait for the other .US style vaio case.

I then deicded to get the Japan one but it was out of stock.

Now i have got the one i didnt want for 4x as much lol

Who cares?
