So as suggested in the ZX1 thread, I will make a new thread regarding the new upcoming A10 Walkman.  There is a large gap between the F-series and the E-Series price wise and Sony usually had an A-Series with higher price, capacity and more features, so I don't see why not add one.  I do not need a F-series but wouldn't mind a higher end E-series which this should be.
 
It will come in 16 and 64gb capacities, most likely non-android, NFC, bluetooth support, and micro-SD card slot for expanding capacity
 
As it is an A-Series, it should come with noise cancellation but I do not have this information yet.  I will try to get more information.

Great news! I love Sony's walkmans. Great UI, great sound and none of the bugs audiophile daps suffer from.

Whether or not it looks like android, the OS will probably be Android based now that they've gone that route.

Unlikely, I feel it will be regular walkman OS since the cpu freq is 533mhz according to the fcc documents.
 
I have updated the post with some possible CPU information.

I can agree with you on the bug part, Fiio X3 has great UI and wow, boy! spectacular sound quality that thrumps a walkman out of the water

IMO i think all walkmans should at least adopt FLAC, I know they support PCM, but in the smaller ones you fit more songs with FLAC

 , mY Fiio internal storage (8GB) can hold like 22 FLAC level 5 albums

Will it be better than the current F-series?
