This Sony Walkman has got legs

Sony’s new E350 Walkman range is proof that not every gadget or gizmo has to be full of fancy new features in order to be desirable.

The 4GB version is priced at $70 while the 8GB version will be $80. Double the memory for only $10 more? Only a loony would turn down that offer.

For your hard earned cash you’ll get what appears to be a simple but decent MP3 player that can offer up to 50 hours of music playback and up to ten hours of video. The use Sony’s own Clear Audio technologies, for clear, deep sound without distortion while Sony’s SenseMe software will automatically categorise music tracks.

Keep an eye out for them on www.sonystyle.com next month, as that’s when and where they’re due to go on sale.
