The Walkman A840 is Sony’s thinnest ever and with the introduction of the 64GB Walkman A847, it’s about to change the way we see flash MP3 players. This is the sleekest in 3 decades of Walkman experience, so it’s quite the historic Sony PMP. The Walkman A840 is only 7.2mm thin and boasts a 2.8-inch [...]

Here are two more new models you can add to the Sony Walkman line-up apart from the NW-A840 we previously reported. The S640 is available in 8GB and 16GB variants and comes with ambient noise filtration. The S740, meanwhile, boasts of noise cancellation and has more variations to choose from – 8/16/32GB capacities. Both models [...]

This is the smallest MP3 player we’ve seen though not exactly cheap starting at $55 for the 2GB player. Thanko’s MP3 Micro Sports fits in one ear, though it’s not likely to appeal as much as the also tiny Shrek MP3 player from the same company. If you like the price and the looks, here are [...]

The new A-series OLED PMP from Sony is their thinnest ever Walkman. The NW-A840 is only 7.2mm, so thin in fact that there’s little choice not to make this an OLED player. The screen is 2.8 inches, which means you will need the video out option to fully enjoy the 720 x 480 videos this [...]

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 [...]

We choose to believe this supposed leakage of a new Sony Walkman that will follow the E440 for one reason: it’s too boring to be a fake. The unnamed Walkman has built-in speakers top and bottom of the screen. The design is similar to the E440 except for the speakers, which should make this PMP [...]

We’ve dealt with pretty blatant cloners before and we appreciate the effort from Soniphone to be just slightly original. They almost made it sound as if they weren’t cloning Sony Ericsson but, upon closer inspection, we discover they might have forgotten the all-important marking on the phone itself. There at the front we find the [...]

We wish the Sony Walkman E-series would offer better capacity, as it is, the non-touchscreen Walkman will come in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. It has a 2.0-inch screen, an FM tuner and recorder. They don’t have an official price for it yet, though release date seems to be in a matter of weeks. We like to [...]

I used to own a Sony Walkman that played cassette tapes. It wasn’t as brick-like and huge as the Sony Walkman Scott Campbell swapped with his iPod. It was as big as a book and cassette tapes were absolutely alien technology for Scott. It was three days of using before he figured out it had [...]

Google Android may be the operating system of choice for Sony Walkmans in the future. That means a more versatile PMP, which could open up new markets for Sony in apps and content downloads. Says Chairman and CEO Howard Stringer: Sony hasn’t taken open technology very seriously in the past. Its CONNECT music download service was [...]
