Sony has all but blown it in the realm of personal music. Take the old standby, the Walkman. Back in ‘85 I had one of these gems and boy was it cool. Unfortunately now, Apple owns this market with the iPod and I see very little that Sony can do about that.

Not that we really had any doubt at this point, but those new Sony E-series flash players from last week? Yeah, they’re real. No new info on Sony’s official site though, not so far as we can tell: same 512MB / 1 / 2GB capacities as before with optional FM tuner, MP3 and WMA playback, and a 28 hour battery (using ATRAC, of course) with a 3 minute quick charge for 3 hours playback (again, probably using ATRAC), and black, violet, pink, blue, silver, and the “very exclusive lime green.” Yeah, whatever. So where are our CE-Ps, Sony? Source: Engadget
