A new sony touchscreen player is set to be debuted at CES2009! Not much info on it:

16 and 32gb models (hooray)
WQVGA resolution (384x240 pixels) on 3-inch OLED screen
Supports MP3, WMA, AAC, PCM (audio) and AVC (h.264), MPEG-4 and WMV (video)
Wi-Fi (full browser, you-tube player, unknown if it has flash support)
FM Radio
Active noise canceling built in
'Powerful' built-in amp
Probably some physical controls (like P2, S9)

The article doesn't say if it will have Bluetooth or not, but all recent Walkmans have (I think) so it's probably a pretty good bet. The website says the pictures are "product shots" but looks like it was drawn in paint to me lol... but if dimensions are accurate, the player has a small footprint and is very thin. Menu style is supposedly very similar to current Walkmans layout.

Personally, Wi-Fi isn't a big deal to me (though I said the same thing about bluetooth on my P2, and I ended up using that a lot :P). As long as it doesn't blow the price through the roof, I suppose it won't hurt though. Sony players are somewhat pricey, so hopefully the price stays at a reasonable range.

Discuss!
