Sony to Release Android MP3/Media Player

Just recieved FCC approval. It's already available in Japan. This should give consumers an Android alternative to the iPod Touch, which is currently the only mainstream media player running a mobile OS. Being that it's a Walkman, it will have industry leading audio quality, much better than the competition's (this last part can't be understated, Walkman audio quality is leaps and bounds better than it's main competitor's ;)).

It is quite capable in terms of hardware as well

4.3" screen

Tegra Dual-Core CPU

512 GB RAM

16 GB / 32 GB / 64 GB storage

Android 2.3


I like this trend of Android being used on non-phone devices. Maybe we'll see future iterations of the PSP adopt Android?

I loved my W810i. The audio quality was superb.

I'm not a fan of Sony's custom UI and bloatware though.

Might look into this; I could use a new MP3 player

put ICS on that and we will talk

Nice but I use my phone for tunes - I don't think I want to carry around something

I already have something like this. The Samsung Galaxy Player. Its very nice. 8gb storage default, supports micro SD card up to 32gbs, 4inch or 5 inch screen, I love it. Check it out on amazon.

Ah! Sounds interesting, will check on it.

Hopefully its not a fail like the galaxy player 4. Knowing Sony they should do a great job thoughmystic_knight

Why exactley is the Galaxy Player a fail? I have one and think they are great. ?
