Sony tackles Apple's
iPod shuffle
BBC News -
E,UK
Consumer electronics giant Sony has unveiled a range of MP3 players which use
flash memory to store songs.
The devices are pitched into a competitive market recently swelled by the
addition of Apple's iPod shuffle.
Unlike hard disk-based players, flash devices hold fewer songs, using solid
state memory rather than a disk.
The Sony line-up includes MP3 players which hold a similar number of songs to
the iPod shuffle - about 250 - but the players have much longer battery life.
The new players have up to one gigabyte of storage and depending on which
version, cost between $150 and $180.
Sony said the new devices would have 50 hours of battery life - compared to the
Shuffle's 12 - and they also come with a small display screen.
