Three of A Kind, of Walkman that is

It's been less than a week since Sony announced the new Walkman lineup and the opinions in the Walkman community are mixed.  One obvious problem is Sony US's decision to only offer the 16GB A-Series while the competition is at 64GB.  This clearly demonstrates how much confidence Sony has for the US market, unless Sony has another higher capacity Walkman in the works to replace the 32GB X-Series?  So are the new Walkmans worth their price?  My thoughts after the break.

Pocket-lint hands with New Walkmans

Pocket-lint has some live photos of the new Walkmans and I have to admit some of the photos are not that flattering and make some of the Walkmans appear "cheap". Check out the photos in the link below.

Sony Walkman goes wireless

Sony has finally announced the new Walkman range which includes the new A-Series, S-Series, E-Series and W-Series.  The new A-Series comes with a S-Master MX Digital amp, a 2.8inch LCD touchscreen and Bluetooth.  I guess that OLED got lost somewhere along the way to the announcement.  Full Press release after the break.

High Res Photos of Sony NWZ-E460 Walkman

After posting the first photos of the new E460, I return with higher resolution images which some of the details of the new E and the menu.  It appears that bookmarks have moved onto the main menu and like with the previous E-Series, SenseMe returns, along with voice recording.  Availability for the red version is supposedly August 10th, with the remaining units slated to arrive early September with pricing of 79 Euros for the 4GB and 99 Euros for the 8GB.

Blog Revamp

Hey Everyone, I have been contemplating a redesign of the blog a few months back but was too busy unfortunately.  Now with some free time on my hands I have made a slight change to the blog design.  As much as I liked the previous design, there were some issues with it, such as slow load times and problems editing certain aspects like widgets and social media addons.  Therefore I have opted for a simpler design utilizing a stock template which I have modified.

First is the Google search for the blog, which cleans up the design as well, next is the ads which I have tried to integrate much better with the design so they do not stand out as much.  Comments have also been revamped with all comments appearing after the post.  Finally I have added a social media share buttons like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and Google+.  This should make sharing blog posts easier for users which I recommend highly.

I wanted a rotating header image but it was not working correctly so I scrapped that idea.  Once the new Walkmans come out, I will hopefully be able to update the logo.

Sony NWZ-W260 Debuts

Sony has introduced the successor to the W-Series, this time with a new design, unlike previously.  According to Sony, the new W-Series is 24% lighter and 2/3 smaller than the W250 version and of course is water resistant.  The new W-Series will come in 2 and 4 GB capacities, 2 colours (black and white), and should retail for about $60 and $80 respectively, no word on pricing for Europe, but prices should be similar to the current W.  The model will also be available in Korea from what I gather, but only the 2 GB model.

Other information is 50 hours of battery life, FM radio, SenseMe function, voice recording, dynamic normalizers and Qriocity compatible which is not a surprise.  An announcement should be coming soon for the new E-Series (I hope) along with new S-Series and A-Series.
