Thinnest Sony Walkman ever!
 |
The gadget wars between Apple and Sony continue as the latter has just announced some a truly saucy new Walkaman, named the A-series.
The new candy comes barely a month after Sony released the S-Series and the E-Series, but what is so special about the A-series? Just that at 7.2mm, it happens to be the thinnest Walkman from Sony.
The A-Series can be snapped up in three flavours - the 16GB (NW-A84), the 32GB (NW-A846) and the 64GB version (NW-A847). Weighing just 62 grams, they are all packed with a 2.8 inch OLED screen at 240x400, FM radio and TV-out. Also included are MPEG-4, AVC and WMV video support, and MP3, WMA, ATRAC, PCM and AAC. The Walkman is compatible with Sony's Playstation 3 and you will be able to drag and drop to auto-transcode video from your computer.
The Sony A-Series boasts a playback time of 29 hours for music and 9 hours of video. Prices though are not very attractive as the 16GB would set you back $226, the 32GB $332 and the 64GB $443. All three models will be available in two colours, jet black and brown. In comparison, the Sony S-Series boasts 42 hours of music playback and up to 6.5 hours of video playback and costs $130 for the 16GB unit.
The A-Series will launch in Japan on October 31st, but no news on when it will launch in India or any other part of the world for that matter.
