After the release of the NW(Z)-A820 and NWZ-A720 series Walkman, it has been a while that Sony has announced something new. Here are few things that Sony China/Japan have announced together at July Shanghai product conferences. With interest, few speculations were made upon their announcement.
PMX-M8 (exclusive Sony Media Xtreme player for China, it evolved from 07 model PMX-M7)
July Sony China Audio Product Show

Following the release of M8, Sony has also released an Atrac Walkman NW-E02XF for China, same model which was sold in Japan.
Few things are speculated (just few assumptions and hopes from many Sony fan forums), Sony China/Japan made the first M70 product which supports drag and drop, then drag and drop became common for all Walkman products, is Media player in China not only an exclusive product, but also an experiment of Sony's ideas for audio products?
If so, what will be Sony's next release, any new functions added?
Will Walkman receive something such as 480*272 resolution, in built map software, SRS3D, FOCUS, TruBass, High Definition, Centre, Limiter, Speaker Size technologies. (Though Walkman already has Clear Audio, Clear Bass ect).
Will Atrac Walkman return to other parts of the world? since China is already receiving Atrac Walkman now.

Many Chinese electronic review sites have tested the SQ of M8 using Right Mark Audio Analyzer. I will copy the graphs and results here soon. Sound wise, it scored the grade of "Very good" on the RAA test. Total review of M8 is 15 pages, covering every aspect of the player including actual photos, so I will copy soon the interesting parts.
