Author: Corwin Brown   | Posted: 24-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 63 | Rating: (71)  (?) 
A few days ago, Sony announced its NW-A820 Walkman player for release in Asia in March. Its European/US brother, the NWZ-A820, is now available for preorder on Sony Style for a few countries like Germany and Sweden. As expected, it doesn't seem to be listed with noise canceling features like its Asian brother has, but on the positive side it's bundled with decent quality IEMs - most likely the same MDR-EX082 as the NWZ-A810 comes with.]
Even when the Bluetooth is enabled, the battery is still capable of supporting the player for 7 hours video and 15 hours music playback. Speaking of video playback, the Sony Walkman NWZ-A820 can support 30 fps of it. The device can support a variety of media formats such as copyright-free AAC, Linear PCM, MP3, WMA for audio; AVC and MPEG-4 for video; and JPEG for picture files. Files can easily be transferred from your PC to the player via drag and drop. The device also boasts four ‘Clear Audio’ Technologies for maximum listening experience.
The clear, bright 2.4-inch QVGA screen on all models supports super-smooth video playback at up to 30 frames per second with excellent contrast and colour reproduction. For extra flexibility, videos and photos can be viewed in any screen orientation (left, vertical, right) to suit personal tastes. Photo collections can also be viewed as slideshows accompanied by your chosen music track.
The NWZ-A820 series of Walkmans support WMA, AAC, MP3, Linear PCM music formats, JPEG files for photos and high quality video codec’s like AVC (H.264/AVC) Baseline Profile and MPEG-4 video files. Certified for Windows Vista, the new range also carries Microsoft's 'PlaysForSure' logo, indicating compatibility with a wide range of certified online content providers. It's easy to transfer files from a connected PC to the NWZ-A820 series via Windows Media Player 11, simple drag-and-drop file management or using supplied Sony Media Manager for WALKMAN software.
Support for Bluetooth stereo means streaming to a Bluetooth stereo or speakers is a built-in option as is the hook up with the supplied Bluetooth headphones, in this instance Sony DR-BT21Gs.The player will accept dragged and dropped files from Windows PCs or there is Sony's Media Manager for Walkman software bundled in. Sound quality is apparently assured thanks to in-house Sony technologies while the interface is claimed to be easy to use and intuitive with "super-quick" scrolling.
The NWZ A826K (4GB) and NWZ A828K (8GB) come supplied with Sony's DR-BT21G Bluetooth headphones to create a truly 'Wireless WALKMAN' package for the ultimate in high quality, wire-free listening on the move. Pricing details haven't been made public yet.
The NWZ-A820 series is offered in a choice of four color variations (black, silver, gold, and pink), and will be available in three storage sizes. The NWZ-A829 (16GB) can store up to 62 hours of video plus sound or 3,800 songs, the NWZ-A828 (8GB) just 30 hours 40 mins of video/audio or 1,850 songs while the entry-level versions, the NWZ-A826 (4GB), can store up to 15 hours of video or 925 songs.
