CaptainSodaPop:
If it's gonna look like A02 or very similar please release it in a cool Yellow color like A02 has! :D

P.S. It would go great in combination with Yellow/Black Rockbox interface. :P

Hey There,
I'm glad to see this thread is still alive, I'm really eager to see the device.
I used to have Sansa Clip+, now I saw the A12 and was a little bit disappointed
because compared to the A02 it had no OGG-Support(or is that wrong on amazon?), shorter Battery life, was missing the menu-button (compared to clip+) and was still more expensive than A02.
So I Thought maybe the size is actually difficult, and want to state more precisely that it's probably not the size and the clip (that broke in many cases) that are important, but:
- High contrast (glad with 1 color small display)
- all formats + Recorder + Radio (MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, APE, FLAC)
- easy to change battery (30h+ is fine for me, rather have a quality one)
- durable buttons (7 + vol (+hardware lock would be luxurious))
- microSD
I think you're doing good designs, so I'm just waiting for what you choose. I guess a 1-color display is not for everybody so probably design an even cheaper/durable/reliable/cpu-performant/batterylasting other rockbox-preloaded player. That would be a dream for me and I guess many others, too.
Anyway you're doing great and there's so many whishes popping up here and I'm eager to see what's coming.
Is it really just a few months ahead?

Hi turtlepurple,
A12 does play OGG files.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, we are planning to launch the new model in two months if everything goes well. However, we couldn't make any promise.
Thank you,
Leo
