I will vouch for that OLED screen on the RH10.  It's one of the best things Sony has done for MD since going PCM and upload functionality.  I have had several MDs and also have a RH910 with my RH10. 

I will probably go for the RH1 but will keep my RH910 since you can read the LCD in the daylight which is much easier to read in daylight than the OLED but in the dark the OLED is da bomb.   8)

But, on the other hand, I do have a 3 line remote RMC 40ELK that displays dual channel record meters when in record mode.  Maybe I should just keep that to use with the RH10 in the daylight, yeah, yeah that's the ticket!!!  OLED rocks! 8)

Here's the European press release: 

http://tinyurl.com/nhqyy
1.  Looks like it might be a Lithium Ion battery  :-[  (info from Japanese press release,  costly and no way to add an AA attachment)
2.  Will be MAC and PC compatible
3.  Will record and upload in Hi-MD and legacy MD (yes, if I am understanding correctly, you should be able to upload old MDs to the PC digitally with this new model) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
4.  Mp3 native playback
5.  All metal body
6.  Includes a normalizer (not sure if this is software or hardware)

If the LI-IO battery will record in pcm for 3+ hours then that will be awesome.  I wonder if it will be removable??

Im very excited to hear that Ill be able to upload all my legacy MDs...Ive been wanting to transfer them for a while now and no real efficient way to do it.

you could always buy a MD deck on ebay.  one of the full boat shelf models.  i'm sure you could get one cheap.  that is how I used to transfer mine when I was the big MD fluffer.

Ive got one of those...but the transfer is still realtime.  If the new HIMD supports USB2.0 it should upload a 275mb disc in less then 10 min.

Yeah, I know.  Even as a big MD fluffhead, I did cringe just a little  ;)

Here's the full discussion with much better pictures over at http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=14814

I think the Lithium Ion will be removable (and you can even buy more from Sony >:D) just like the 1st Gen NH1 Hi-MD. 

I really like the option of 2 different displays for recording meters.  See below.

Wow...I cannot wait for this thing to come out!  Full USB 2.0 (which I dont see how that is possible), uploading of all my old SP recording to the computer, AND a nice new display. 

Only sucky thing I can see is that it doesnt have an external battery :(  However it does claim that a PCM recording will go for 6 hours on a fully charged battery.  Even if I have to buy another battery for festivals and the like.

eBay is sporting those Lithium Ions from China for under $20 after shipping.  I will definitely have 2 of them.

Think its wise to buy one off ebay...looks like they are all coming from China.  www.minidisco.com has it for $60 + shipping which is pretty steep.  Perhaps sony direct has them for less.

*edit*

All those guys on ebay have a pretty high feedback so I guess I shouldnt worry too much even still...Id rather find it local and pay a few bux more

Check out this new pictorial from the MD Netherlands rep. 

He's got one of these for a few weeks and does initially report a much faster connection between the PC and MD, twice as fast as the 2nd Generation Hi-MDs.  Yes, it is a Lithium Ion battery.  But, that supposedly will allow for a real "line out" functionality instead of just turning off the EQ and maxing the volume like the Nh900 (1st Gen).

"charging is always done via the USB port (the AC-adapter has an USB port to put in the USB-cable). So the RH1 simply starts charging when 5 volt is applied to the USB port (via USB port or AC-adapter)."

That's the reply posted over at MDCF to your question (I see you posted there too  ;D) Just wanted to make sure this thread got the updated info. 

That actually makes sense, can't you just get a USB power source and let it roll?

Connecting it to the computer is fine but the RH10 takes almost 3 times as long to charge then using a wall charger...which is why I ask.  Normally I just leave it connected to the computer after uploading from the MD to the PC.
