Rumour of new Vaio Pocket relatives

[samhiggs]

I today popped into my local Sony Centre planning to buy me a slip case for my lovely music player. Alas, they did not stock them. On the other hand I found out something rather interesting, apparently (according to the salesman) Sony has a range of Pocket accessories lined up for release but this was all he told me.
I dunno how much faith I should put into this 'news' as I would've thought Sony would have released them by now. But I thought I should let you guys know anway.
If someone knows anything about this please post here everything you know!

Thanks:smileyhugs:

Too true
Hopefully it'll appear on a news site soon.

Wow, great news if its true.

Did the salesman give any clues or hints at all about what accesories are coming?

A docking station with buit in speakers and a wireless remote control would be nice,
i would love a radio accesory for the vaio too,
maybe a lead that converts the vaio's usb type port into a normal usb (for connecting to a computer without the dock)

Sorry for starting an accesory wish-list.

If Sony treat Vaio pocket users in the same way as they treat Vaio notebook users then their next accessory will be a replacement model and the previous model will be totally forgotten about, no further updates will be made available etc.

Perhaps Sony will prove me wrong in this case but my experience indicates that this is unlikely .............

Lol. Sony don't exactly urge you to warm to them do they.

I think that user pressure is the only way to get Sony to properly support their products.......

Flash design isn't always the way to attract customers - functionality and support is more important in the long haul. Once bitten. twice shy.

Yeah i do agree with you, but it's not just sony, all major elecronics companies are guilty of not being as supportive to customers as they should be somewhere down the line.

But i think with pressure from apple's ipod accessories, sony will probably be forced into making some.

Apple have the advantage of huge third party manufacturer support for their iPod purely because of the vast numbers of iPods in circulation. Sony haven't got this advantage because they haven't sold as many players, don't appear to believe in allowing third party support, and will probably totally change the design of the next (if there is a next VP) model.
