If Apple is already proud with its brand, iPod, in the music player industry, then Sony must be even prouder with its also popular brand, Walkman. Well, the reason is because Walkman has much much bigger influence in entire electronic music products than Apple’s iPod. From the cassette player, CD player, MP3 Player and even smartphones, have all been armed with Walkman brand, which gives users nothing but great music experience and great sound quality.

Therefore, recently, Sony continued its awesome work in music player world by announcing a brand new Walkman music player called

F800 Series Walkman Player, which interestingly, is running Android OS

.

Actually,

F800 Series Walkman Player is not Sony’s first music player that runs Android OS

 because earlier this year, Sony has also announced another new device called Walkman 2 Android PMP that would come with 4.3-inch LCD screen and it would be priced at $329.99 for the 32GB model, $279.99 for the 16GB model and the cheapest one at $249.99 for the 8GB variant.

Okay, back to the topic. The F800 Series Walkman Player is stated by Sony will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed and it has 3.5-inch display that not-so-surprisingly, can do multi-touch input method. So besides great in music and sound quality aspects, this device can also deliver such a great experience in the User Interface aspect.

But the awesomeness of this music player doesn’t stop right there yet because F800 Series Walkman Player will also be equipped with some decent specs in it, from WiFi, Bluetooth, built-in xLoud Speaker System for cutting distortion, variety of base tones provided by S-Master MX Digital Amplifier, 5 clean Audio Technologies and the best part, all of these good stuff can be enjoyed at the finest for around 20 hours in battery life.

F800 Series Walkman Player will be available in 3 different models, the 8GB, 16GB and 32GB variants. Picking up even the smallest 8GB model can still give you a huge space to store all of your media files into the device. However, maybe the internal storage won’t be the exact 8GB because it runs Android 4.0 ICS, so some the internal space in this device might be used for the system and also some standard features of this device.

When will this F800 Series Walkman Player launch? Unfortunately, release date and price details of this device are still vague for public consumption, but when it’s out, I will surely let you know immediately through this blog. So, be sure to stick around to this site to get more info about this device.
