I think it's odd that they've incorporated FLAC into their walkman phone line but not their walkman PLAYER line(s).

o.O WTF sony hahhaha.. they are indeed a strange lil (huge actually) company..

Yeah, strange news. The article fails to mention that the Sony does play PCM formatted songs which of course, are lossless. Strange that people have forgotten that. FLAC is much, much better of course, but strange anyway.

unexpected move by Sony Ericsson indeed. but actually they have real problems with their sales volumes and hopefully this desperate move will help them to sale more phones. i also hope that this move will force other companies pay attention to audiophilles. what is hd flac by the way?

24bit/96KHz Audio? Is it the first for cell phone (hopefully mp3 players will be updated through firmware)?

It now remains to be seen if Sony decides to add flac support to their mp3 walkman line.

I would also like to see xvid support for video.

If you can use a mini jack and there is at least 8 gb for storage with expandable memory the new walk man phone could be good.
