Sony introduces first U.S. video Walkman player

By

Consumer electronics maker Sony Corp. on Thursday said it introduced a new U.S. version of its Sony Walkman that includes the ability to play digital video, the latest potential rival to Apple Inc.’s dominant iPod media player.

The Japanese company, one of the world’s biggest electronics makers, said its NWZ-A810 and NWZ-S610 series of Walkman digital music players would be available in September. The devices will support an open platform — which means they will play a variety of music formats such as MP3 and Microsoft Corp’s WMA, providing more choices for downloading and managing music and video collections online.
