I just took a look at the Zire 71 at Office depot and it is way to thick for me. It's almost as thick as my NX!

Sony's financial condition may have put a hold on things too. Wasn't in late last August when Sony first announced the new NX series was coming? __________________ Cheers!

They said they hadn't heard anything and if it was coming within 2 months or so they would have heard by now. __________________ There is no such thing as a stupid question, unless the answer is staring at you RIGHT IN THE FACE!!

What do you guys think?

However, by dropping the current nx slightly will also give consumer a choice of cheaper unit as compare to the new ones.

Do You remember how Sony pulled a fast one with TG-50?
That might be just what they are planning on doing this time too!
I can't wait anymore...

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	No palm release has ever been tied to E3, which is (hello? hello? anybody home?) a video game industry convention. Really fun to attend though if you can make it. Is it sinking in yet that Sony has no new products until August? That Sony will simply be markedly inferior this product cycle? Why is everyone in denial? Not even Sony screens are superior anymore. This is just embarassing. The first new Sony model will probably be some unwieldly huge thing like the NZ-90, once again with ultra crappy battery life and an insane price tag. Great for people who get excited by those pathetic built in cameras though, I am sure. I so wish they'd give that up. All sony can compete with in the meantime is price, hope that someone will want a $350 Tg-50 instead of a $500 Tungsten C. At least the TG-50 has stereo and a good small form factor.
