iPod shuffle for Sony maniacs

This could be another step for Sony which tries to revive the company.
Sony introduced new Walkman, NW-E505/E507 and NW-E405/E407, equipped with 512MB or 1GB flash memory. NW-E505/E507 series has a FM radio tuner. And Sony is pleased to adopt MP3, which is a widespread format, and ATRAC3plus, which is an unknown format but Sony has been sticking with. As you noticed, except for an FM tuner, basic specs are pretty similar to Apple's iPod shuffle.
Ummm... Can Sony get back its lackluster Walkman brand? The sudden personnel reshuffle, which appointed Wales-born Sir Howard Stringer as CEO, made headlines around the world. So, 2005 will be an important year for the electronics empire to strike back. auspicious is going to support Sony more strongly than ever before.
