Google’s Android will have a bright future in the gadgets’ world. And it’s not just cell phones anymore. Android is getting ready to be used in netbooks and tablets and, from the looks of it, in Walkmans too. That’s right people, Sony is considering the Android platform for its future Walkman line. In fact the company might develop a common platform for MP3 players, mobile phones and Internet devices which will be entirely based on Android.

In a world dominated by the iPod, an Android music player capable of other tricks than just playing music would definitely stand out in the MP3 players crowd. We have no confirmation from Sony that indeed this is the way to go, but we can always hope that the next generation X-Series Walkman will come with Android inside.
