If MP3 players were students, then the Sony Walkman X-Series would be teaching the class.
The X-Series from Sony is a multimedia smorgasbord of audio and video that is waiting to explode.
Sony has finally jumped into the MP3 competition beside the Zune and the iPod Touch with a full onslaught of options including WiFi and a built-in YouTube application.
It is slightly smaller than both products, but the X-Series makes up for it with a 3-inch OLED screen, digital noise canceling technology (minus the giant headphones), as well as radio programming that adds songs to your Walkman.
Sony X-Series comes in 16gb($299) and 32gb($399).
Watch this baby in action!
