Just got a new NX70V, loads of ?s

[~Tim~]

I just got a clie NX70V that is brand new on ebay for $200 shipped, I think I did ok for myself. Now, I had (still have) an NR70V and they are more different than I thought (I like 5.0.1 alot better than 4.0.1)
I have questions here:
1: Where is the real cool sound visualization on the MP3 player like in my NR70V?
2: where can I get better skins for the MP3 player?
3: Will the Clie work with a non-sony CF Wi-Fi (Can get one for $20 from a friend in CA, I'd try it, but I'm in NJ)?
4: Can I watch my southpark AVIs and play MP3s from a compact flash card? (if so, I can get a 160 meg for $25, I'll pick up 2 of them).
5: can I record video to a CF card?
All these questions are based aruond compact flash because a 1 GB mem stick is $500, a 1 GB CF is $50. Sony's Wi-fi is $100, the other is $20.
Thanks guys

Actually, so long as you download Peleca's CF drivers, you can watch video from your CF card. I do this regularly, and have fit all of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on my 512MB SanDisk CF card, along with assorted eBooks and mp3s. You still want to convert it through Image Converter, though, since the Clie chokes a bit playing native mpeg files.

As for the visualization feature, it's gone the way of the dodo bird. Not sure why they took it out, since it was pretty cool. Of course, it amounted to nothing more than eye candy in the end, so it's not a huge loss. As for mp3 skins, check out the skins section of Cliesource. There might be something there. I know that one was able to skin the OS4 AudioPlayer (which I did), but I'm not sure how Sony is handling the newer version.

With regards to the WiFi card, ONLY the WL100/110 will work with your Clie, so don't waste your money trying a different card. My suggestion would be to check eBay for a used WL100 - it's a far more versatile card than the 110, in that it can also be used with PPCs and laptops.

Good luck with your new NX, and be sure to use the search funtion in these forums. Pretty much all of your questions have answers lurking around in them.
