MP3 player: Sony introduced new walkman

Sony introduced its latest MP3 and video player: the X-series Walkman. It is a portable device for entertainment. The X-series Walkman supports Wi-Fi and has a touchscreen OLED display, Sony’s Clear Audio and S-master Digital Amplifier technologies, as well as preloaded content from Slacker Radio and YouTube.

“The new X-series leverages Sony’s engineering heritage and integrates the latest advances in OLED and other innovative technologies”, said Andrew Sivori, director of the audio products business at Sony Electronics.

With a 3-inch touchscreen OLED display, the player shows the videos with an excellent color reproduction, high contrast and a rapid response rate. The display allows users to see the videos from any angle, even at a 180-degree angle.

In addition, when the user is watching movies on the device, the image on the screen can be adjusted based on user’s preferences. Also, the process of browsing through several scenes has been simplified by using a feature called Scene Scroll. This feature allows users to select their favorite time increment and scan the scenes (forward or back) by touching the touchscreen display.
