We have known for some time that Sony was to release an OLED walkman, but as yet we had no idea as to the release date. We can now tell you that you can now pre-order a 16GB and 32GB X Series Walkman Video MP3 Player for $299.99 and $399.99 respectively.
Amazon will ship the OLED walkman on July 3, 2009, while Sony will start shipping tomorrow, July 2, 2009. SoftSailer have remarked that they do not think purchasing the new Sony Walkman would be a great idea, as the iPod Touch now has the new iPhone OS 3.0, which brings with it a host of improvements.
Microsoft also has its new Zune HD, which is certain to have a host of features that are better than the new OLED Sony Walkman. If you still wish to go for the Sony device, then you will be pleased to know that the device comes with 100 free MPs downloads.
Just a last bit of advice, Amazon are offering free shipping and a discount, not sure how much though.

I have to say that I will not be buying the Walkman X 1000 and will opt for the Zune HD instead. this is because Sony failed to include Playstation store support so i can sync my downloaded movies to the device. I was the only one who thought about that when they announced it at CES 2009 in January. I tried so hard to get them to listen to me but they wouldnt and neither did Sony insider despite all the comments i left.
I wrote a blog entry detailing how angry i am at Sony about this lol. Oh, and now that I mention it, I wrote a blog sometime in january trying to start a rumor that the walkman would get Playstation store support so they could hear me and listen!!
