This was definitely a via via via item but it appears as if it came first from ATRACLife.  This looks to be a cool way to Experience Mobility using Sony’s NEW flash-based Walkman.  With several sizes and a few different colors, there will be a lot of satisfied users. 

In a stunning revelation brought forth to ATRACLife from trustworthy insiders, Sony is soon to debut a new flash-based Walkman to the world. What differentiates this device from previous Walkmans is its absolute freedom in music transfer. Sony has finally arose from its slumber and has made this a drag and drop personal audio device that doesn’t require Sonicstage to assist in moving music onto the device.

One, two, and four gigabyte versions are expected in three colors with OLED color display. Surprisingly, voice recording is included with all versions, and there will be FM-radio variants as well. The B100 series with FM capability can also record FM audio directly onto the unit. The ATRAC codec will not be supported with this device, but people familiar with the situation have stated that MP3 and non-DRM’d WMA will; we are left to speculate if AAC will be supported.

Expect an entry-level price point similar to previous Sony offerings and availability within the next month.
