The Vaio Pocket VGF-AP1 has a 20Gbyte hard disk drive and goes a step further than the iPod with a a 2.2in colour LCD screen, with 320 pixel by 256 pixel resolution. In addition to acting as the main user interface, the screen displays track information when songs are being played and displays, if available, album art.
The device has a touch sensitive panel, dubbed ‘G-sense’, which is used to control the player. Users can navigate a series of on-screen menus by running their fingers over the
panel in the appropriate direction.
The player is compatible with Sony’s ATRAC3 and ATRAC3 plus digital music formats, both of which include digital rights management (DRM). By using Sony’s Sonic Stage or Music Move software, both of which are bundled with the player, tracks in MP3, Windows Media Audio or WAV audio file formats can be converted into ATRAC and uploaded to the player.
The software is compatible with Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP Home and XP Professional operating systems.
