Η Sony στρέφεται ξανά στα “απλά” και ανακοινώνει τη νέα σειρά των MP3 players της, η οποία ονομάζεται Walkman B Series. Η συγκεκριμένη περιλαμβάνει τα MP3s NWZ-B163/B163F (4 GB) και NWZ-B162/B162F (2 GB) σε τέσσερα πολύ ωραία χρώματα (μαύρο, ροζ, πράσινο, μπλε, κόκκινο), τα οποία αναπαραγάγουν αρχεία μορφής MP3 και WMA (όχι DRM), έχουν αυτονομία 18 ώρες και οθόνη LCD 3 γραμμών.
Και τα δύο MP3 players θα κυκλοφορήσουν τον Ιούνιο -σε άγνωστες τιμές ακόμα- και θα είναι ιδανικά για όσους αθλούνται χάρης στο μέγεθός τους.

Δεν ξέρω γιατί, αν και πολλές εταιρίες βγάζουν αξιόλογα mp3 players, ποτέ δεν κατάφερα να βρω αυτήν την αίσθηση που σου αφήνει το ipod σε ανταγωνιστικές προτάσεις
Συμφωνώ, όμως η σειρά Sony Walkman B Series θα κοστίζει γύρω στα 60-70 €. Σε αυτή τη τιμή η Apple έχει μόνο το Shuffle.
Προσωπικά μου αρέσουν περισσότερο τα NWZ-B163/B163F και NWZ-B162/B162F. Έχουν πιο ωραία χρώματα και οθόνη (μεγάλο πλεονέκτημα αυτό).
