When I saw a recent post on ABI by ultrapony about a teardown of the X-Series I decided to post a few more photos I found online. As ultrapony points out, the wireless chip in the X-Series lacks Bluetooth support meaning there was no chance of a firmware update for Bluetooth support. In addition the photos show that the X-Series uses a Samsung OLED display which is not a surprise.

I just noticed the US SonyStyle list the Walkman X-Series for $149 on the main Walkman page: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=16178&N=4294966011&Name=Walkman+MP3+Players
ReplyDeleteBut if you add to cart it they go for the regular price $299 (16 GB) and $399 (32 GB). Not sure what is going on.
