Sony Ericsson W8 is the first Walkman phone series that focuses on the Android operating system, an issue that brings value to multimedia mobile to a higher level, thanks to the ecosystem that comes to Google.

The Smartphone has many similarities with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, a mid-range terminal with which it shares much of the hardware, and inexplicably, operating system version. Presented with Android 2.1, when the rest of the family and comes with Gingerbread, does not seem the right thing.

Accompanying we customize Android Sony Ericsson Timescape, but to get the smaller size of screen, plays with shortcuts in the four corners (we met on the Xperia X10 mini), and proprietary applications such as the Walkman and TrackID. Read more… »

Not one, not two or three … The new models featuring Sony Walkman are no less than 12. Here are all the new players in the ranges A, E and S from Sony.

The Japanese manufacturer has announced that it soon will release a dozen new Walkman players, several members of his line S. The latter are the NW-S754 (with storage capacity of 8 GB), NW-S755 (with 16 gb), NW-S756 (with 32 gb) and NW-S750K (which will be available in versions 8 gb and 16gb .)

There will be new members of the E-Series range. They are the NW-E050 (with 2 or 4 GB capacity) and the NW-E050K, a player with speaker that will be available in capacities of 2 and 4 gb.

Finally, it also renews the range A brand with models NW-A855 (16 GB), NW-A856 (32 GB) and NW-A847 (64 GB) all with 2.8-inch OLED display and resolution of 240 x 400 pixels.

The new models of the E and S series will be available in Japan from October 9 while the Series A will be from 13 November. Now prices are unknown

Sources over at SonyInsider.com claim that a new version of S-Series Sony Walkman, which was well-received by the consumer market, is being developed as we speak, as shown in this press photo that they have posted. Judging from first impressions alone, it seems that this new model will include a built-in speaker into the device, which would be great for listening to your favorite tunes without the need for earphones. The screen also appears to become bigger.

Whatever features it may have, we hope that the new Sony Walkman would feature the best of the S-Series plus more: super-slim design, music and video capabilities, a longer-lasting battery, FM tuner, noise canceling, and (hopefully) a memory higher than 8GB.

However, do not mark the calendar just yet. It is still unclear when this new PMP would be unveiled; if in case this is a legit product.
