Sony Europe has quietly introduced the M-Series Walkman that is already on sale in Japan.  Unlike the model in Japan which tops out at 16GB, the international model will only ship in 8 GB and black.  The international model is identical to the Japanese one, except no ATRAC support.

Features include:

• S-Master MX Digital amp
• OLED display (128 x 36 px)
• Ultra-clear Digital Noise Cancelling technology
• Bluetooth connectivity via NFC
• FM tuner
• Dynamic Equalizer, Clear Phase, Clear Bass 

The device will support MP3, WMA, AAC and linear PCM. 

Battery life is rated at:

• Digital noise-canceling function OFF: 15 hrs (MP3)
• Digital noise canceling function ON : 12 hrs (MP3)
• Bluetooth with digital noise canceling OFF: 10 hrs
• Bluetooth with digital noise canceling ON: 9hrs

Availability will be beginning of October on the Sony Store website.  I have checked Sony Malaysia, Sony Hong Kong, Sony Korea and Sony Taiwan, but nothing so far.  Price for various EU countries after the break.
