Sony's just launched the NW-E505 and NW-E507 Network Walkmans. The 512MB and 1GB (respectively) players have been knocking about the internet for a while and now they've been officially launched in Europe. Also out are the 512Mb NW-E405 and the 1GB NW-E407. All four players come with Organic EL (electro-luminescence) displays, 50 hours' battery life and support for MP3s, as well as ATRAC3, ATRAC3plus, WMA, and WAV. The 500s have FM radio while the 400s don't, but that's about the only difference really. All three have a neat quick charge feature which lets you gain three hours' of battery life for just 3 minutes spent plugged into your computer's USB port.

| Thanks for the link w/US info / pricing. I'd definitely throw down $200 for the 1GB with the FM tuner. |

Theres more from Sony:
70 HOURS ON ONE AAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^It still feels a little weird to say “MP3 player” after “Sony”, but so far so good, right? They’ve got three new flash players due out this spring along with that NW-E505 we’re so stoked on; the E100 series should come in the same small, circular form factor, but varying colors. The NW-E103, W-E105, NW-E107 come in 256/512/1GB sizes (respectively), and support WMA, WAV, MP3, and, of course, ATRAC3, as well as having a 1-line backlit display (meh), and running up to 70 hours of playback on a single AAA |

| The circular player is great for the gym... although.. the lighter sized one is tempting cuz of the FM tuner feature... |
