Sony Ericsson's New W710 Walkman Phone

Listening to music while exercising takes a new turn today as Sony Ericsson introduces the W710 Walkman phone. Designed to support an active, sporty lifestyle, the Sony Ericsson W710 Walkman phone includes a motion sensor and new fitness software applications that measure your running speed, distance and time, or simply count your steps when walking. Available in Performance Graphite and Hatha Violet, the phone also features a 2 Megapixel camera with digital zoom and comes supplied with a 512MB Memory Stick Micro (M2) - enough to keep you going through the longest walk or fitness session, although this can be expanded to 1GB if you're left wanting more. THe supplied Disc2Phone Music Management Software allows you to easily rip your CDs and transfer tracks from your PC to your phone. You can also transfer tracks to your phone that you've already ripped into your existing music libraries; just ‘drag and drop' and the full metadata - artist, album and track - will be transferred too. Now you can easily discover the title and artist of a song you're listening to on the phone's radio or even your own radio at home or in the car. TrackID, powered by Gracenote Mobile MusicID, is a new service which means you can record a few seconds of a song either via the microphone or the in built FM radio and then with one click send that clip to the Gracenote worldwide music database which will identify the track and relay the information back to the Sony W710 phone. The Sony Ericsson W710 Walkman Phone is a Quad-band EDGE/GPRS Walkman phone expected to be commercially available in Q3 2006. sony_ericsson_W710_t.jpg [/TAGS]
