Hmm... i thought ithe NX-73 was pretty thick in tablet mode when i used a friends' today. I took out my NX-60 and compared them and it was thinner. Personnaly, i love the NX-60 and they should continue to make another NX that does not have a camera and instead just lower the price by $80. The reason i don't need a camera is because i have a Sony Cybershot DSC-P92 5MP Digital Camera already and the quality of the picture and movies recorded on it cannot be compared with the NXs'.

Hi,

I see you own the NX80V.
I just bought myself on. If you do not mind me asking you a couple of questions?

I bought a compactflash card PNY 256 MB.
the card pretty well, but I am not able to able to play the MP3's that I saved on the compactflash.
When I start the audio player it is only set to read from the memory stick so not able to play audio from compactflash !!!!
is it a cleaver trick by Sony in order to buy their memory stick.
And even I am unable to record a video file too.

The negative thing about the memory sticks, above 128 MB becomes memory stick PRO and it has this protection feature MAGIC GATE that won't allow u to transfer internet downloaded MP3....like a screening feature...really bad...
so better compact flash, much cheaper and large capacity.

If you can give me your feedback on this issue I would really appreciate...thank you

Marc

the point about the camera I agree definitely, the NX80 camera can't compare with my 3.2MP P-7 either, but it's just that I don't carry my cybershot wherever I go to unless it's a special occasion and I know for sure I'm going to need to take good photos. The NX80 1MP camera is definitely great for those surprise candid moments where you want a camera to capture that moment but didn't bring the camera out. Sure it can't compare in terms of quality, but it's the next best thing :p

btw, if you wanna find a CLIE that's almost twice the thickness of the NX60/70, that would be the NZ90 :p

To use the CF slot for multiedia apps, you have to download and install the UX versions of the audioplayer, movieplayer and the Clie camera into your NX80, and it'll be fully compatible, no need for any other hacked CF drivers or eruware drivers, simple as that. Go search for Pelaca's CF utility, just download the UX apps. The Sony original multimedia apps are not VFS aware, and hence can only read from a MS.

The negative thing about the memory sticks, above 128 MB becomes memory stick PRO and it has this protection feature MAGIC GATE that won't allow u to transfer internet downloaded MP3....like a screening feature...really bad...

No worries there, you can play internet downloaded MP3s from a MSPro in the same way as a normal MS. I do that all the time on my MSPro. The "Magicgate" on the MSpros do not work.... and the point of MAgicgate was not to control internet MP3s, rather to allow the play of sony propriety attrac3 files.

If you can give me your feedback on this issue I would really appreciate...thank you

You're Welcome :D

NX80, by way of an NR70V - and I love it. As a matter of fact, it saved my bacon in a meeting today when my laptop crapped out on me and I needed a couple of powerpoint presentations to move the discussion forward. I just took out my NX, fired up PicselViewer, set it to landscape mode, and voila - problem solved. Of course, when it came time to resume note taking, I just unfolded my KB100 and started typing.

-Adam

PS - Oh, and I used the camera to take a quick shot of the whiteboard so I could have the image on hand to jog my memory in case I missed anything in my notes.

I did what u said & download CF-utility 1.08
and the audio player v3.1

yes I am able to access now the CF card under audio player.
But the data export software would only accept memory stick.

pls more details on that

thanks

ok do not use data export...use data import instead. Place the CLIE in the cradle and activate data import on the CLIE. Select CF from the top right hand corner dropdown menu and viola...you can drag and drop files to and fro the CF like the Clie is a Card Reader.

marc z

10-11-2003, 11:25 AM

Thanks for helping out.
about the audio player on the NX 80V, i upgraded to v3.1 which has the option to allow to view the CF. and i dowloaded the CF utilities too.
the only problem now is that the DATA export v1.0 by Sony will only allow u to use memory stick.

Need ur help on that so i could export MP3's and listen to them on the PDA.

thanks

But you are really helpful, Sony should higher as their support manager.

Just one last thing, if you could give me a few names of good sowftware to use on the clie, i downloaded so many from e-mule, but not familiar with their names....

there is one that allows to change desktop style and have icon style.....same like windows....what is the name?

and some other good software & utilities names pls....

One essential software is definitely JAckFlash 3.10b. Lets you double your internal memory. Haha, thanks for your kind comments, I'm just here to help, like everyone else... but sony wouldn't want me teaching people how to go about going around their CF limitation though :p

She gave me all the advantqages of the NX-80 over the NX-70, but also said that the NX-70 was capable of working with Word documents out of the box while with the NX-80 you had to pay about $70-80 to buy additional software to do the same.

I would have liked to have the additional memory, the better camera didn't mean anything as I already have dedicated digital cameras, but the loss of the word processor feature helped me decide on the NX-70.

Since you own both, have you found this to be a true limitation?

You should of got the NX-80 and bought wordsmith (30 from blue nomad) (or 10 from handmark)

Wordsmith is better than DTG (with older NX) anyway.

So is it really all that much better to warrant the extra cash?

What does the 80 do that the 70 is not capable of (baring more memory, that's a given.)

acraniotes

10-12-2003, 09:49 PM

I don't think it's an issue of what the 80 does better, per se. The 80 is simply more refined - sort of like what the 70 should've been in the first place. Memory-hogging applications are now in ROM, the heap space is larger, the keyboard is backlit , it has tablet application buttons, a better camera, a better screen, better battery life, a retractable CF slot... Nothing terribly revolutionary here, but when everything is added up, the benefits are clear: more memory available to the user, no more "PTL" errors in Netfront, longer intervals between charges, more vibrant images and graphics, a keyboard that can be used in the dark, and a camera that can take decent, print-worthy pictures.

The above nothwithstanding, had I already owned an NX70, I seriously doubt I would've bothered upgrading.

NX70V, I like to have a super hi-res camera, but it doesn't do me much good if it drains my battery.

NX-80 surely is a better NX-70. Sony just fix some minor issues. If you are upgraiding from OS4 sure worths it. But the migration from NX70 to NX80 isnt worthing the time and the money.

Spock

Originally posted by aithir ... But the migration from NX70 to NX80 isnt worthing the time and the money.

That all depends on your viewpoint. Long ago, I decided it was much better to wince once when making initial payment than to wince every time I use something.

I have purchased and attempted to use some real dogs when it comes to equipment. I have, some time ago, tried to stay on the bleeding edge of technology. Now, I usually am satisfied if what I purchase has enough expansion to last a useful product cycle.

My last PDA was a Sharp Wizard 9500 that I purchased about 1995. It served faithfully until recently when I allowed it to discharge a bit too deeply. Now I cannot even get it to turn on. This prompted the Clie purchase, because the Sharp never had an available computer interface that I could ever find, though it has the port. I lost over 7 years worth of data due to dead batteries!

I now have all my data regularly backed up to a PC and, may investigate what would be involved to upgrade to the 80. I could care less about a back lit keyboard, but the swivel display is a nice feature and who can argue with a longer time between recharges?

Thank you all for your input. I will now retire to try to come to some decision. ;)

NX80 here. Love the lighted keyboard, not so happy with Grafitti 2. Anyway, my NX70's 'P' key stopped working 2 months ago, so I used my Best Buy warranty to get the nearest upgrade for free... no complaints here, except my 70's Bellagio case covers up a LOT of ports on the 80.

Higher resolution or not, the camera still sucks, IMO...

Just bought Audio-Technica ATH-EM7- sounds great, looks good (matches the Clie silver), comfortable- but cost ~8000 Yen. BTW, I buy headphones like some people buy underwear- I own Bose and Sony noise-cancelling headphones, electro-static headphones, and a bunch of others.

NX70V: WL100, 128 MB MS, 256 MB CF, Bellagio Flip Case (Nubuck Brown)

Software: ZLauncher (what else?), Agendus Standard v.8.04, Picsel Viewer from NZ90, Documents to Go Premium v.7.0, Mapopolis Nav Beta 3D Nav, Filez Beta v.6, Hiarcs Chess Computer, Due Yesterday v.5.2, Bald Power CF Drivers, Pocket Tunes w/ Itunes skin v.3.5, Palm Reader, My Bible v.3, Mobipocket v.4.8, all the Sony Drivers and upgrades, Power48 HP Emulator (very nice calculator) and that's just the beginning... All on an NX70V. I don't think an NX80V would be cost effective right now since ZLauncher can install everything to the Memory Stick or CF card.

Grave Digger, I have an extra NX70V cd if you think that would be helpful.

Wow this thread has been running forever! I have a sony nx80v and have had it for I guess 2 years. It was a demo at best buy so it was on sale for half price! Good deal or what! Its still going strong, and I hope it lasts for a good long while. Its a mighty fine pda and mp3's sound great on it. I have a bunch on my cf card...Wonderful sound!! I must confess I don't use the camera that much because I have a Kodak digital that does the job for me. You can't go wrong with a nx. And thanks to cliepet for all the wonderful work he did with this series.

NX73V - but since it was a display model, it didn't come with the installation CD!!! Sony Support is "out of stock" right now on the CD, so does anyone have any suggestions on how I can obtain a copy of the CD?

PM me what you need on it and I'll try and send the files to you:) Also let me know the limit of your e-mail.
