I am going to by mine next month if all goes wel. I think the new stream could've been a bit better, but there are enough bennifits for me at least. First off, the old stream does only charch on the adapter. No USB charching of any kind is supported. And that is sick in the time we live in. So now the new stream does not just support charching via USB, but it also charch with a pere USB adapter and only have one port wich dubble as both an charching and connection port. The thing I like about the new interface however, is that you can now charch and listen wile its connected to the pc. Connect it wile the unit is turned on, and it will charch and stil be able to play and be usable. Turn it off and connect and turn back on again and the pc will see it as a mass storage device like the old stream did. I am also sick and tired of stupid Samantha and tom drink to much wisky and so the newer acapela voices are more than usable. They really are what I can use for long hours of reading. I love the fact that now on the new stream you can set the sleep timer in custom incriments according to your set time, and not only the presets they always allowed. And the way the clock works is also very unique. They seprit the clock menus from the regular player menu. That is ausom! Also the fact that all features are now available on the unit without the need for a softpack installation. And now it can do line in recording. It no longer support recording of 3gp but mp3 and wave only. That is just fine. As far as I no about the wifi situation, you have to either type in the network info manually, or scan for the network and add it that way. You might be able to add an incrippted network but I doubt it can sync. Although you can confirm that with humanware. Maybe someone on the stream list will no more there. And they might also help with the nls thing, I never saw any notes regarding the presents of such adapter like the old one. And I'm not in the US, and I didn't see the player yet. Hope this help a bit.
