Sony Thursday unveiled its lastest Walkman digital music players, in a bid to battle Apple Computer's iPod, according to media reports.
The company says that these latest Walkman players, which are flash memory-based, will be the first of Sony's digital music players to have built-in noise-cancellation technology.
The new Walkman also will let users upload music from a CD directly to the portable player without a computer. The music transfer will require an additional cable or cradle accessory to connect the Walkman to a CD player.
Sony plans to offer two models: a 2-gigabyte version for 200 U.S. dollars and a 1-gigabyte version for 170 dollars.
"In one sense, the products are competing against the iPod, but in another sense they are more about Sony's strengths," said Hiroshi Yoshioka, a Sony executive overseeing the audio equipment business. Enditem 据媒体报道，星期四索尼公司将最新的随身听数码音乐播放器公布于众，旨在击败苹果电脑公司出品的iPod播放器。
公司称这些最新的随身听播放器，以闪速存储器为基础，将会是索尼公司数码音乐播放器中第一个使用无噪音技术研制的。
新型的随身听也会让用户在无需电脑的情况下直接从CD中上载音乐。音乐传输只需要一个额外的电缆或者是支撑的辅助设备来连接随身听和CD播放器。
索尼公司计划推出两种款式：一种是2GB的容量型号，售价200美元，另一种是1GB的容量型号，售价170美元。
“从一种意义上来讲，这次产品要和iPod竞争。从另一种意义上来讲，它加大索尼公司的优势。”索尼公司一名执行官在眺望音频设备商业前景时如是说。
