o A friend points out pictures and Japanese info for [1]Panasonic's
SV-SD70 solid state player. Due out in July for JPY49,800, the AAC
(not MP3) based unit uses SD flash memory cards and plays 4 hours on
a single AAA cell. Unequipped with an audio data input jack, its SD
cards are docked to the PC with a USB or PCMCIA adapter for
downloading. Its SDMI compliant software converts CD and MP3 (but
not.WAV) tracks to AAC. Larger capacity cards are due in 2001
(256MB) and 2003 (1GB).
