Sony is bringing back the
Walkman, with a new model of the music player pioneer that comes with
high-resolution playback and Bluetooth-connected headphones.
The new Walkman, targeting
audiophiles and set to cost about $US1200 in the United States
($1485), is a high-end version of a model Sony released in 2013 after
retiring the classic cassette player in 2010. The first-generation,
clunky-looking Walkman went on sale in July 1979, redefining the way
people listened to music.
The NW-ZX2 Walkman was
among products unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas
on Wednesday (Australia time), and will be available globally
alongside new high-end headphones in the first quarter of this year.
Local pricing is yet to be announced.
Sony also presented an
ultra high-definition action camera that uses the 4K video format
it's trying to push, a challenge to GoPro in the market for filming
extreme sports.
Chief Executive Office
Kazuo Hirai led the presentation at CES as Tokyo-based Sony seeks to
move past the embarrassing hacking on its Hollywood studio, an attack
Hirai described as "vicious and malicious."
All of Sony's
web-connected TVs will run this year on Google's Android platform
with Sony planning models from 43 inches to 75 inches (1.9 metres).
The X900C TV is just 0.2 inches deep at its thinnest point, the
company said.
