But why would you want android on walkman ? Touch screen is nice . Something like this should have come out at least 4 years back from the sleeping giant called sony . In 2014 we should already have a 6 inch android walkman with dedicated cybershot camera and call facility . We all want minimum gadgets in our lives . I use samsung galaxy mega 6.3 as my personal computer ,my digital camera and sometimes as my music player and yes I download music on it . Sound quality on it falls a bit short to throw away my walkman yet . I dont use my phone for making calls because it is just too big . <br />A 6 inch walkman might not be for everyone . But someone like me who does not use a digital music player with earphones but instead with external speaker , a six incher android will be perfect . It will reduce one more gadget from my life Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-23356220012422062122013-09-24T05:54:59.597-07:002013-09-24T05:54:59.597-07:00A potential market leader, but Sony's usual ig...A potential market leader, but Sony's usual ignorance of what the user want/needs is displayed here:<br /><br />1. Only 32Gb, with 24/96 albums taking around 1Gb, not room for many albums. In fact not much room for 16/24 bit music, videos and photos. 64Gb should be the minimum size for this device (TREAT THE REST OF THE WORLD LIKE JAPAN, they get 64Gb why not us)<br />2. Will this walkman support 24/44.1, 24/48 a more usable size for portable 24bit audio. Some albums are sold in this format.<br />3. No expandable memory, a microSD slot would be nice, Supprised that Sony have not even considered using Memory Stick cards, the PSP-3000 uses Expandable Memory Stick Duo, so why not put this in Walkmans, rather have expandable memory than built in speakers, bluetooth circutary etc <br /><br />Why dont Sony ask Walkman users what they want via their website or do could Ascariss run a poll and pass on the results.<br /><br />I like the Walkman, my 32Gb X-Series is starting to show its age, but I don't see the point of upgrading to a similar capacity device which would result in being able to listen to less music if I go high def.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-65253499838989587952013-09-10T06:19:10.923-07:002013-09-10T06:19:10.923-07:00Awesome news, indeed!

The F, with it's new hi-res playback mode, is tempting. But my current Z seems a more complete proposition (I don't like, i.e., the keyboard mode in the F806, and I don't think the 886 will change that). Also, 32 GB seems like too small a storage capacity for hi res files. I'd like to get a super high end ZX1, possibly with 64 GB. And I might consider getting the F886 as a more portable (well, sort of) set up. In any case, cheers to the new Walkmans!

There is no info on the normal sony US or Canada sites either unfortunately. <br /><br />I have updated the post with pricing and availability.

Check out the new Sony Cybershot QX lens, it has its own sensor same as rx100mk2, battery, wifi etc and can be controlled via any android or iphone and even attached.<br /><br />This is the same idea I shared in the post Ascariss did about Sony ditching walkman and sticking to W series only. And I shared an idea why not Sony make a series of high end or mid range W series walkmans having all the enhancing technologies, with high memory too and use it as a phone handset too while importantly we can scroll through the walkman song contents via any android phone or an iphone with its own dedicated walkman app, even have the equalizers accessible with the walkman app. Hehe if Sony copied that idea for its QX series Cybershot lens lol I don't mind. Just get that dream walkman alive to buy. After all Sony u did say to dream and believe. :-) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156515505642672253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953732317018979267.post-77403262721412047082013-09-04T09:14:17.735-07:002013-09-04T09:14:17.735-07:00What is the resolution on the screen?
