Who hasn't looked forward to Sony's slick X series Walkman player release since the device was announced in January? Sporting a 3-inch Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) touch screen, the top of the line Sony X-series Walkman Video
and MP3 player is wi-fi enabled, and it features
Sony's Digital
Clear Audio Technologies, integrated digital noise canceling technology, FM tuner, and embedded content from
Slacker Radio and YouTube.
The ultra-sharp OLED touch screen has a 180-degree viewing angle, so friends can gather around and watch your videos and photos clearly. The player utilizes its touch panel
and hard keys for navigating volume, play/pause, rewind/fast
forward, with a very cool scene scroll feature also making for a nice way to navigate with a swipe of your finger as well. The
X-series Walkman plays protected Windows Media Video (WMV)
files, and supports AVC Baseline (H.264) and
MPEG-4
video codecs, and it comes with Content Transfer software that lets you easily drag and drop non-DRM music, videos, podcasts and playlists from iTunes to the Walkman X player. Battery life is said to provide about 33 hours of music playback and up to 9 hours of video playback.
The X-series Walkman video and MP3 player is available now for
pre-order, with the NWZ-X1051 - 16GB model going for $299, and the 32GB - NWZ-X1061 model priced at $399. Sony Style and other retail stores will have them by mid-June.
