Sony has taken the
wraps off its first Android-based Walkman media player - the Z-1000. Running
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), Sony's would-be iPod touch rival comes well spec'd
with its 4.3-inch WVGA (480x800) touchscreen, NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core CPU
platform and 512MB of RAM.
The NW-Z1000 is
equipped with "S-Master MX" sound processing, digital
noise-cancellation and a dedicated "W" button for the music player
app. Installing additional apps via Android Market is also possible.
File support
includes MPEG-4, AVC, WMV (Full HD 1080p video playback at 30fps available), as
well as MP3, ATRAC, ATRAC Advanced lossless, AAC, HE-AAC and WMA music files
formats.
Connectivity comes
courtesy of WiFi 802.11b/g/n, GPS, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 (with EDR, AVRCP, A2DP,
OPP profiles supported) and HDMI output. The unit also features digital
compass, G-sensor, built-in mono speaker, FM radio and its lithium ion battery
promises up to 20 hours of music and 5 hours of video playback.
The NW-Z1000's
dimensions are 134.4 × 70.9 × 11.1mm (5.29 x 2.79 x 0.4in) and it weighs 156 g
(5.5 oz).
Sony Walkman
NW-Z1000 will be offered in three versions - 16, 32 and 64GB - priced at
JPY28,000 (US$365), JPY33,000 (US$430) and JPY43,000 (US$561) respectively.
It's set to be released on December 10 in Japan but availability in other
countries hasn't been confirmed at this point.
