Hello everyone,
I just saw a very good price for a NX73V (with Bluetooth) and I was 100% positive in buying it with a 1go memory stick to putt movies on it and don't get bored while I travel 45 min on the Paris urban transportation system. So the primary use of the device would be video playback, audio and as an organizer at last to replace my very old and none video friendly PEG-T615. But then I see news about the UX series having some blazing video performance. So what should I do? wait and see or take a chance with the NX73V or even a pocket pc Ipaq 5550, I have never owned a pocket pc but it seems the ipaq has a speedy engine under the hood but still I have no damn idea how it performs in multimedia matters.
I hope you could advice me on this one.
Thanks.

UX has 30fps video capability.. NX has 15fps I think... ask people about over clocking the NX, I do think its possible that way..

Personally, i'd say get one of the new AV Players that are handheld. Either the ET970 or the Archos AV320, it's thicker than a palm pilot, but you can hold upwards of 20 gigs as well as play mp3's, also saves battery.

It's also cheaper to get an AV palyer and a palm pilot than buy a 1 gig memory stick, but it tamkes up more space.

like an iPod for video, nice!

yeah memory sticks are at the moment a very expensive option for portable video :D
