New Sony Walkman is an iPod killer!

January 8, 2009 by Insider Staff 

X-Series Walkman As predicted a few weeks ago, Sony has announced at CES that it will be launching a touchscreen MP3 player to rival the iPod Touch and we’ve seen it. And it looks nothing short of amazing! Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the X-Series Walkman

So what’s different about this offering to make us believe that it really can knock Apple off its musical throne? Well, thanks to the gorgeous three-inch AMOLED touchscreen, it’s super-slim. But that won’t stop the bods at Sony offering it up with 16GB and 32GB capacities.

Also on the inside you can expect to find an FM tuner, Wi-Fi functionality and plenty of digital amps and noise-cancellation technology for some truly awesome sounds. Throw in a web browser, direct podcast downloads and a YouTube app and basically you’ve got what promises to be the best Walkman since the moon walk, man!
