Sony made him the civil servant and launched its first walkman AMOLED. The NWZ-X1000 3" color screen of AMOLED with the resolution of WQVGA (Pixel 432?240) able to show 262144 colors. Two models on this series will be available 24th April this year to Japan.

Touchscreen Sony Walkman X1000 16GB and 32GB for April 25


Even Though it has such many features it is so slim to be handled.

Here are the images For it...!

It?s finally gotten official pricing and the touchscreen Sony Walkman X1000 w/ WiFi will be costing consumers a bundle, starting 40,000 yen for the 16GB ($401) and topping at 50,000 yen for the 32G or just over $500. It?s WiFi all right and it?s a touchscreen but to price a PMP at smartphone levels? We were hoping price will remain around $300 to $400, just as Amazon made us believe weeks ago.
