Media marvel

Sony's new metal-encased NWZ-A720 series portable media player - available in black, white, pink or gold - is arguably the most chic Walkman released, thanks to its finely contoured design. The device measures 51mm by 93.9mm by 9.3mm, weighs 58 grams, and is packed with features, including a 2.4-inch screen, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a high-speed USB port, Sony's Clear Audio Technologies for high-quality sound and support for multiple audio and video formats. It comes bundled with MDR-EX082 headphones but lacks voice recording and an FM radio. The Walkman NWZ-A720 series is available in 4-gigabyte (HK$1,198), 8GB (HK$1,598) and 16GB (HK$2,398) capacities.
