Feb 14, 2005, 3:40 PM by (staff)
Next month Sony Ericsson is set to unveil Walkman branded music phones, promising to revive Sony's portable music heritage. Although many of Sony Ericsson's phones have music players, the new models will feature improved headphones, more memory, more playback features, and the ability to easily load tracks from PCs. Miles Flint, Sony Ericsson CEO, explained users will not need to deal with ATRAC formats or proprietary DRM, saying "Sony's strategy is evolving." Instead Sony Ericsson is expected to opt open formats and DRM standards in the devices. The new music handsets will be available for 3G and 2G networks in the third quarter.
