At first glance thought of this as a possible MP3/AAC/WAV player with long battery-life for when going jogging etc.
But after reading the details it seems a very niche product.
Lack of connections other than USB (how are you supposed to listen to your recordings?) and the bluetooth only seems to be for phone app control (can anyone confirm if you can connect bluetooth earphones directly to recorder for listening to playback?).
Also built-in battery means if you are out of charge you have to charge it before being able to record.
I could live with the lack of expandable storage, but it seems this product is specifically a modern remote-control super-compact voice recorder (other Sony Voice-recorders have always had the option to use as a basic MP3/AAC player using headphone output).
As a voice-recorder, if you can live with something that is slightly larger, uses swapable AAA batteries, and is easier to operate by hand, you could just go with the cheaper entry-level Sony PX470 + additional memory in Micro SD slot.
If the bluetooth can connect to BT wireless earphones I will consider this for playback use while jogging.
