Is Sony Ericsson working on a Walkman droid, the W15?

Sony Ericsson Android Touch UI Rumors

We had pretty much written off the Walkman brand at least as far as phones go. However, rumor has it that it might be poised for a comeback in the face of an XPERIA X8 based Android with all the appropriate sound playing internals.

Right now it’s just a rumor and a photo of a box so no promises. The model number of the droid Walkman is W15, at least that’s what it says on the purported box.



Here’s what else the rumors say – the Sony Ericsson W15 droid Walkman will be similar to the XPERIA X8, with a 3” HVGA screen, a 600MHz processor and a 3.2MP camera.

It’s going to pack a customized interface (which is a staple of Walkman phones) and a specialized audio chip that supports lossless codecs.

An April or May launch is speculated - that doesn't leave Sony Ericsson much time to announce the W15.
