This is their iPod killer?

Are they hoping it'll die of laughter?

I think they were thinking for something "cool". It may be cool that it has the motion sensors but that's really stupid and useless if you're carrying it in your backpack (b/c that thing won't fit in your pocket.)

Sony is turning lame now. ;_;

Of the set of all possible reactions, I believe the following is the most fitting:

"lol sony"

Juggernaut, bitch.
At each end of its egg-like body the Rolly sports a 20-mm, 1.2-Watt neodymium magnet driven speaker. Each driver is capped by a protector that flips out when the speakers are in use and can apparently rotate to better project sound in a particular direction. From what we can make of the machine translation of a Japanese product page, the Rolly doesn't have a headphone jack and instead makes use of Bluetooth for sending tunes to headphones.

Oh, so I have to go get special headphones that will cost a bundle for something that already costs a bundle...>_>

Just 1-GB of storage space is packed into the Rolly, which is disappointingly low. It is, however, apparently capable of streaming, via Bluetooth, a music collection stored on a PC. Supported music formats will include ATRAC, MP3, and AAC. Battery life is rated at 5-hours, or 4 when Bluetooth and motion sensing are at work.

This is where the thing completely fails. Oh, it has dogshit for memory, but you can stream from a PC! Woopty doo! If I'm close enough to my computer to stream off it, then I'm close enough to use the speakers that are hooked up to the goddamn thing already.

Also, the battery only last 4 to 5 hours? What the hell kind of shit is that? My beat up zen player which has 20 times the memory of this thing can last at least twice as long as that damn Cadbury looking piece of crap.

Sony is not turning lame. They've been lame for some time now, since the PS2. After that, it's been downhill with 599 US dollars and exploding laptop batteries.

AND NO I WILL NOT SAY WHY I AM SO PISSED OFF.

Yeah, you're right about all those things Burgess, especially this part, which I completely agree with you on:
