Sony Shows Android 2.3 Walkman With 4.3-Inch Screen, Wi-Fi but no Phone! Sony Shows Android 2.3 Walkman With 4.3-Inch Screen, Wi-Fi but no Phone!

I have no idea why Sony did not add a phone for this good looking walk man to Compete with the iPod? Sony Japan announced the NW-Z1000 series today, their three newest Walkmans, which come with an array of flashy features. Now Sony priced and dated the devices for their home market. The prices start at $364 or £200 with 16GB on board which suites most users.

I would assume that they will release a version with the Phone at some point in the future. I rather like the idea of paying only 200 GBP for such a phone.  The device has Android 2.3 as the OS (with access to the Google market) YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps and various Sony apps pre-installed (Sony Music Player, Photo Player, etc.) If you own a VAIO then this is a more logical fit than an iPod.

About Technology and Science blog by Salar Golestanian
These are various Salar Golestanian Blog some long and some short about the latest topics that interest me about Technology, Design, Mobile or Desktop Internet and all that is within its jurisdiction. Probably the best place for these would have been in SalarO.com, However, some Blogs have less of a commercial or corporate genra, so here they are placed in my personal site. These Blogs help me explain a little more then normally allowed in the 140 character real estate of Twitter posts. They may also link you to the actual news or site that expands further on my comments.
