A fresh new interface makes the Sony Walkman E450 easier to use. The redesigned playback screen lets you scroll through a big, bold view of cover artwork on the crisp, clear QVGA screen. Background wallpapers can be customised from a choice of designs, or use your own photos. New Scene Search makes it easy to pinpoint the right moment in longer videos by scrolling through a series of thumbnail images.
Looking to match your listening to your mood? Unique to Sony, SensMe™ technology automatically analyses and categorises your music library, creating a series of themed channels. Just pick your channel to suit the moment, from mellow to upbeat.
Any way you slice it, this is a great new addition to the long line of Sony Walkmans that have been available. If you want the latest Walkman in August of 2010, check out the E450 series today.
