Sony S-Series Walkman PMPs get the Mickey Mouse treatment

Sony S-Series Walkman Player with Mickey Mouse engraving

We didn’t have any doubts about Mickey Mouse insipiration for Sony’s S-Series Walkman players but I guess that was not enough as Sony has strengthened its affiliation further by offering engraving of Mickey and Minnie Mouse to Japanese S-Series (S640/S640K/S740/S740K) buyers. The cartoon engraving can be coupled with a personalized message imprinted on the back.

Additionally, Sony will also offer fun designed clear cases that will discreetly show the player’s engraving and a limited edition Mickey Mouse stand.

Hands on: Samsung Myfit and IceTouch PMP

We checked out the recently announced Myfit and IceTouch PMPs. The Myfit PMP – as you understand – goes for the fitness seeking crowd. The player is pretty light and it’s the fitness and wellness management features that set it apart. There are sensors placed on the top of the player that checks the body fats, stress and melanin levels of the user. Placing a finger on top of the player instantly checked out my stress levels. Samsung did not reveal the exact price but it shouldn’t be more than $150.

IceTouch was placed in a glass so we really didn’t get to touch it but nonetheless, it’s transparent AMOLED was clearly visible. The player looks really good and has an interchangeable “Color Skirts” (bottom part).

The player will be available in 8/16GB capacities and supports SoundAlive 5.1 Channel (upgraded engine from DNSe) with an estimated playback time of 20 and 3.5 hours for audio/video respectively.
