Still remember that Sony Walkman with built-in speakers we featured a couple of weeks ago? Well, it’s just appeared on a French site and is now available for retail.

Two versions are available: an 8GB (NWZ-S544) model and a 16GB (NWZ-S6545) variant. Apart from the obvious built-in stereo speakers, this new S-series Walkman features a 2.4-inch QVGA widescreen display, FM tuner, codec support for MP3, non-DRM AAC, WMA, H.254, MPEG4, WMV files, microphone, and a Li-ion battery that can supposedly provide up to 42 hours of audio or 6.5 hours of video. We’re not sure if it will be released in other colored iterations, but black is the only one currently available. The 8GB version is retailing for 129€ ($182) while the 16GB model is selling for 149€ ($211).

So, is this good enough for you or were you expecting something more from Sony?
