So here’s how you miss stories: Jay Samit told me about this in September last year, in passing, and of course, I should have connected the dots. It is called laziness…
Anyway, Sony is trying hard to milk anything out of the Walkman brand: Sony Ericsson will sell music-playing mobile phones under its Walkman brand, and will work closely with online music division Sony Connect and Sony BMG, its music division, on content.
The new Walkman phones, which will be available early in the second half of 2005, will have large memory, good quality headphones and the ability to easily import tracks from a personal computer and other devices. The Walkman phones will also be the first networked Walkmans to use open software standards for compression and piracy protection.
