Sony will be introducing an improved wearable Walkman in the near future. The WS-Series will feature NFC and Bluetooth which will permit its use as a wireless headset. In addition, the capacity has been bumped up substantially. While the current W270 tops out at 8GB, the new WS-Series will come in 4 and 16GB capacities, NWZ-WS613 (4GB), NWZ-WS615 (16GB). I am assuming the device will be water resistant like the current W-Series but have no confirmation on this. The confidentiality of the FCC documents ends in early September, so I would expect an IFA 2014 debut. As with most years, Sony seems to bring a new crop of Walkmans to IFA, so hopefully something new will debut apart from the WS-Series.
If anyone has anymore information or actual photos of the device, please contact me using the form at the bottom of the blog, or the email address provided below.
This is great news, I have been waiting since the first generation w series for this to come out
ReplyDeleteTalked to a sales assistant at a Sony store here in Malaysia, he said it might be released in August.
