Sony has reportedly launched two new video walkman series in North America. The NWZ-S610 and the NWZ-A810 series can play both audio and video, and will be available in North America in September, Sony said.
Both series support an open platform so as to be able to play a variety of music formats, including security-enhanced Microsoft Windows Media Audio (WMA) as well as non-secure AAC and MP3; plus JPEG files for photos, AVC (H.264/AVC) Baseline Profile, and MPEG-4 video codecs. The new video walkmans feature a standard user interface (UI), a QVGA (Quarter Video Graphics Array) LCD screen (320 x 240 pixels) that displays video at 30 frames per second. The battery life is rated at up to 8 hours of video playback for the NWZ-A810 series, and more than nine hours for the NWZ-S610 series. For both series, the battery provides up to 33 hours of music playback. While the NWZ-A810 series will be priced between $140 (Rs 5,733 approx) and $230 (Rs 9,418 approx), the NWZ-S610 series will cost between $120 (Rs 4,914 approx) and $210 (Rs 8,600). And, Sony is introducing the NWZ-B100 series of walkmans for those who want to listen to music only. The walkmans in this series feature: USB direct connect, 3-line color LCD display, FM tuner, and up to 12 hours of battery life. The audio players also come with FM recording capability and voice recorder function with built-in microphone. Sony announced it will pull the plug on its Connect Music Service that distributes music in the company's proprietary ATRAC audio format in North America and Europe, sometime before March next year.
