Music lovers will be pleased to hear that Sony (NYSE:SNE) today announced a new lineup of Android 4.0-powered Walkman music players, led by its Android 4.0 F800 model. These will certainly make for an interesting alternative to Apple’s lineup of iPods.
Users will have access to Sony’s cloud-based Music Unlimited service, and on the F800 access to Google play, according to The Verge.
That model features a 3.5-inch multi-touch screen and is powered by a Tegra 2 dual-core processor. The 16 gigabyte version will retail for $269.99 and the 32 gigabyte version for $299.99.
Meanwhile the lower-end E470 offering is a thinner Walkman at just 7.0 millimeters thick, with a 2.0-inch LCD screen. A 4 gigabyte model costs $79.99; the 8 gigabyte model is $89.99; and the 16 gigabyte model is $109.99.
