OK, just one more thing to mention out of that product information book of Sony's. The NW-E40x series is similiar to other new products with native ATRAC3 and MP3 play, a lightweight design (37g), and high-speed charging. It also features a 3-line OLED screen and a built-in lithium battery good for up to 50 hours of playback. WMA and WAV "compatability" is through transcoding with SonicStage only. While it's not listed among the features, you can clearly see an "FM" button on the player's face, so we'll assume it has a radio reciever as well.


The NW-E407 line has 1gb capacity while the E405 line has 512mb. There's no 256mb version at this time. Each is available in black, blue, red, or green. Price unknown, but you know it won't be cheap.
