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 [...]

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 [...]
