Ok so here is my wishlist for the next flagship walkman.
Hardware:
Super high dpi oled screen; no bezel
10-15% bigger in all 3 dimensions.
256/512/1tb of nvme.
Two micro sdxc uhs-II ready
Hardware radio switch, activity lights
Source amp
Am/fm radio/international radio.
USB-C
Software:
New Linux os, with ability to connect to USB-c monitor and run a full sized computer workstation with Linux packages inside virtual machines (core machine locked down to prevent accidental malware)
When running without external screen, core os is just walkman software, phone virtual machine, android package virtual machine, and file manager.
each a separate VM: phone and sms, Android package launcher, thunderbird, Firefox, libre office.
When plugged into a monitor allows a full privileged VM to install any os, windows/Linux and boot the vm to the monitor out.
This is the device that wins the future
