Sony NWZ-A810 Walkman with video support

After much delay, Sony's video Walkman players finally hit the markets. Sony announced the availability of the new NWZ-A810 and NWZ-S610 series of Walkman portable media players, and with their open platform support, should allow the user more choices for downloading music and videos online. Both gadgets are slated to have a similar, standard UI for managing and accessing your media collection. The QVGA LCD display (320x240 pixels resolution) can handle videos up to 30 frames/second. Sony claims a playback time of 8 hours (video) on the NWZ-A810 and up to 9.5 hours on the NWZ-S610. Music playback is much more, at 33 hours on both.

Supported audio formats include WMA, AAC and MP3, with the integrated image viewer capable of handling JPEG files. Video formats include AVC (H.264/AVC) baseline profile and MPEG4. You can download movie trailers in .mov format and convert them for use with the Walkman video players. As can be expected, Sony Pictures Entertainment has also provided video content for both the players.
