Sony has finally taken it’s world-renowned Walkman portable media player line into the world of digital video, unveiling its NW-A800 series of Network Walkmans for the European market. The NW-A800 series will initially be available in three models—the A805, A806, and A808—sporting 2, 4, and 8 GB of flash storage, respectively. For viewing video and images, the units sport a 2-inch QVGA (320 by 240 pixel) LCD display; the display features a portrait placement rather than the landscape design seen in Apple’s iPod, but Sony says video and images can be viewed in either orientation. The units weigh just 53 grams (1.9 ounces) and are just 9mm thick.
