Sony Corp. has unveiled its first hard-disk drive-based digital music player to bear the Walkman name. The device was launched on Thursday as the Walkman brand marked its 25th anniversary. The NW-HD1 features a 20GB hard-disk drive and is, according to the company, the smallest music player at this capacity. It measures 89 millimeters by 62.1 millimeters by 13.8 millimeters and weighs 110 grams. The capacity is half that of Apple Computer Inc.'s highest capacity iPod, but Sony says its player trumps Apple's in terms of the number of songs it can store: 13,000 on the Walkman versus 10,000 on the iPod.

Two Flash Players From Sony: NW-E75 and
NW-E95 06/15/2004 01:05 PM

Sony announced two new flash Memory MP3 players that look not unlike tiny music gas cans, the NW-E75 (256MB) and the NW-E95 (512MB). Both have an impressive playback time of about 70 hours from their rechargeable batteries and look to be able to record to memory, as well. The NW-E75 comes in three colors, red, white, and blue, while the higher-capacity NW-E95 comes only in black (and are both the same size, but I left the images in their native resolution so you could get a better look). Looks like these will likely be Japan-only, for now.

Sony to support MP3 in future players 09/23/2004 06:06 PM

Support for MP3 will first appear in flash-based players Sony plans to release in Europe this year, according to reports, which also indicate that Sony plans to release MP3-compatible flash players in the United States.

Xeni Jardin: Sony confirmed yesterday that it plans to add native MP3 support to digital music players, in a move that will likely help the products compete more effectively with more popular competitors like Apple's iPod. Until now, the Sony devices were designed to only play files encoded with Sony's proprietary Atrac music file format.

The shift from reliance on its proprietary format will begin with flash memory-based players, the electronics giant said, but plans are still being finalized on how and when products will add MP3 support. CNET News.com affiliate ZDNet France first reported of the change in Sony's strategy for the European market. U.S. representatives said the company is making similar plans here.

Winless in 160 previous starts on the PGA Tour, Frazar birdied his final three holes for a 4-under 66 and a one-shot lead over Ernie Els going into the final round at Waialae Country Club.

F500i; BREAKING NEWS: This Phone Takes
Pictures 06/24/2004 11:13 AM

Pocket-Lint brings to our attention the F500i camera phone, the first Sony Ericsson phone on the Vodafone UK network. What it does, you see, is take VGA-quality digital photographs and then, while this might be shocking to those unprepared, also allows you to make a telephone call over the airwaves using a tiny, integrated "cellular" radio. Yes, folks, it's a camera, but also a phone! Oh. You've ... seen ... ah.

Well, it has a tiny 3D chip and games! Did you know that? Ah ha! As I thought.
