Sony revealed the W-series Walkman MP3 player during CES 2009, confirming our leak, which boasts an industrial design that is simple and cord-free. Perfect for audiophiles who seek a second device for the gym and leisure use, the NWZ-W202 model eliminates the inconvenience of wires and makes it easier to listen to music virtually anywhere, anytime. Here’s a cool video Sony was showing at the Walkman booth about the NWZ-W202:

In addition to the sound quality provided by its 13.5mm EX headphones that are of similar quality to the EX51, the new W-series Walkman MP3 player also includes Sony’s ZAPPIN function, which offers an effortless way of browsing, searching and listening to music without a display. The ZAPPIN mode, operated with a Jog Dial, helps you find tunes easily by playing popular clips of each song in your device’s music library until a favorite is selected.

Fitness fanatics or those who do anything active while listening to music are freed from headphone cords with the W-series Walkman MP3 player. With its compact, light weight body, this design fits comfortably behind-the-neck. The new player also offers a quick charge feature which allows the device to play back up to 90 minutes of music with only a three-minute charge and up to 12 hours of music with a full charge. With the supplied “Content Transfer” you can easily transfer non-DRM music files by “drag and drop” from online music services such as iTunes to the Walkman device. It also comes with accessories, including a holder and charging stand with a USB miniB plug.

The NWZ-W202 will be offered in black and pink, has about 2GB of internal storage and will cost about $70. Other territorial colors include Violet and White. Of course, true Sony Insiders knew about the NWZ-W202, as we announced it the day before CES.
