Sony has announced the Walkman Bean, anew flash memory based MP3 player. The Walkman Bean features a 1-line OLED display, up to 50-hour playback from a Lithium-ion Rechargeable Battery and a high-speed charge facility, which provides the user with 3 hours play from just a 3-minute charge.

Walkman Bean is available in the following great colourways: Tropical Ice (Blue), Cotton Candy (Pink), Licorice (Black) and Coconut (White). All colours take their inspiration from various flavours of jellybean, owing to the shape of the device.


Walkman Bean will be available in both 512MB and 1 GB capacity (NW-E205 and NW-E207). All equally funky and playful, there will also be a 512 MB model with a built in FM tuner (NW-E305).

Walkman Bean features ATRAC3plus and MP3 Playback and ships with SonicStage 3.2 file management software. As well as managing your music library, SonicStage provides seamless access to the CONNECT catalogue of more than 700,000 tracks and albums available for download.
