Sony Walkman Bean NW-E20x/E30x
August 19th, 2005 by Chi An
Sony Europe recently introduced their latest MP3 players - the “Walkman Bean” series, including NW-E205, NW-E207 and E305.
Both NW-20x and NW-30x are having similar features excepts the built-in FM tuner of MW-30x. The “Bean” plays ATRAC3plus and MP3 with awesome li-on battery. However, it only has a single line OLED display. It’s really a huge “bean”. A weird name and a weired design.
How Sony describes their masterpiece?
As cute as a jellybean, the WALKMAN Bean is equally tasty. The easiest (and smartest) MP3 player you’ll ever use, it comes in four candy colours and is as cool on the outside as it is on the inside!
Err… it is kinda hard to accept its design. I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t. Anyway, let see some close up pictures of it.
