  Would that be similar to http://minidisc.org/part_Sony_MDS-JE440.html

Yeah, that's the one.  I didn't remember the correct model number.
Incidentally, Best Buy's sign for it fails to mention the MDLP modes.  In
fact, the tag states that one can record up to *74 minutes* with it.  Once
again, Best Buy doesn't have a clue...

Not much info on the unit on the minidisc pages.

$199 for a deck. wow..  what are the features and specs for it?

On Sony's UK site:

http://194.154.177.137/products_details.asp?code=MDS-JE440nav=tech

It's quite a basic deck (only digital I/O is an optical in, although 
av-store.co.uk claims it has optical and coax), but at a very good price. 
The bit extra for the 640 might be worth it though - it's about 30ukp more 
and you get keyboard input, pitch control, scale factor edit, better 
display, etc.

I'm going on UK specs but there's not usually a difference between markets 
for them.

 An LP-2/4 minidisc recording deck is already available at Best Buy stores.
 It's called the MDS-JE400, I believe, and it's retailing for $199

I'm guessing new Sony MDLP equipments will come out "on schedule", after the
same interval between any previous generations.

Sony will definitely play MDLP to their advantage, because so many others
aren't ready even in Japan. One would imagine Sharp has some form of ATRAC3
technology (since they're selling the e-musee, the headphone/memory stick
player), but they've had no MDLP equipment out.  If Sharp is developing, I'd
imagine a February/March 2001 launch in Japan.

Matsushita may never touch MDLP, for they're using AAC in solid-state audio
against Sony's ATRAC3, and claiming that AAC is nearer to CD quality amongst
the "near-CD" compression algorithms. But only time will tell.

Leon

p.s. The new Sony memory stick walkman looks great.


 Though I resisted the idea of MDLP at first, I am now beginning to
 warm up to the idea. When will MDLP players and recorders be
 available in America (they aren't already, are they?) -- or does
 anyone know?
