Sony Ericsson Adds Music Capabilities to Cell Phone
After unsuccessful attempts to unseat both Apple’s iTunes Music Store and iPod music player, Sony Ericsson is going after a market it is already established in by combining two of its current products into one.
Announced yesterday was the introduction of the Sony Ericsson W800 Walkman, the first cell phone to include the Walkman name. The device is expected to go on sale later this year and will include a 512MB storage card, allowing for approx. 120 songs.
Sony is looking to battle the likes of Nokia, who struck a deal with Microsoft, and Motorola, who has already announced iTunes compatible phones.
