“Uniquely styled with adistinctive green camouflage finish, the all-in-one, wire-free MP3 player alsocomes pre-loaded with six music tracks from the game,” Sony informs us.
“Designed fortoday’s active lifestyles, the Walkman W252 is the first wire-free MP3 playerfrom Sony that resists rain splashes or the sweat of a gruelling gym session. Afterexercising, just rinse under the tap – or even keep listening during a post-workoutshower.
The latest Sony Walkman has a 2GBcapacity and provides storage space for around 470 tunes. It also comes bundledwith the 13.5mm EX Series headphones, which are also camouflaged, in case youneed to hide your ears.
A three-minute charge gives enough powerfor 90 minutes listening time. And the full battery will give you 11 hours oflistening time.
Sony’s PSP has its critics, for sure, but the new MetalGear title from Hideo Kojima really is something pretty special. We are stillless than a quarter of the way through it and can happily report that it is adelightful handheld gaming experience.
