Sony introduces Flash based MP3 players

Sony NW50X MP3 player with an OLED display Sony will offer two models, one with an FM tuner (NW-E50x) and one without (NW-40x), both in 512MB and 1GB versions.

What distinguishes the Sony product - apart from the distinctly disposable lighter styling - is the integration of an OLED read-out into the player's casing. The device doesn't have a screen as such - track details, the time and tuner station information - appear on the surface of the player.

 

In addition to the usual Sony support for ATRAC 3 and ATRAC 3 Plus, the players will support MP3 natively.
