p2pnet.net News:- ‘Mobile Walkman’ is a bit redundant, but that’s what Sony is proudly calling its new camera-cum-phone.

The Sony Ericsson W800 arrives with up to 30 hours playback time, audio playback options, a 2 megapixel digital camera, FM radio and a 512Mb Sony Memory Stick Duo.

But, says the Mobile Gazette, it’s, “certainly no iPod killer”.

Maybe not, but you can’t phone home with an iPod.

And although, “Some music fans may be dismayed to see Sony resolutely sticking to their proprietary Memory Stick Duo, with the phone being supplied with a 512MB memory card,” it still has enough storage for around 150 music tracks, or 10-12 full length CDs, Digital-Lifestyles.info points out.

That’s not bad - for a phone.

Yesterday, Nokia announced three new mobiles one of which, the Nokia 6230i, push to talk, a built-in stereo music player which supports several digital music formats, such as mp3, M4A and AAC – and a has a 1.3 megapixel camera.
