newVideoPlayer("/walmart.flv", 892, 416,""); This is probably one of the scariest videos I’ve seen: The spread of Walmart. It may just be the slimy green, but it looks like an outbreak movie where everyone dies.
Nowadays we’ve got podcasts, internet radio etc.—but if you absolutely must listen to NPR the old-fashioned way, Sony has helpfully thrown an FM tuner into one of its new computer speaker sets.
Sony’s two new Muteki audio shelf systems, which are both “Made for iPods,” have tossed aside that whole thin, streamlined aesthetic. The result: the iPod looks like something climbing out of a monster truck.
Sony’s Walkman NWZ-X1000 features an OLED touchscreen, Wi-Fi and built-in noise cancellation and could re-seat the brand as the world’s music player of choice… if it doesn’t come with typical Sony prices.
Sony has gone all Pinocchio on us with its sportsy W-series Walkman MP3 player, eschewing cords for an all-in-one music player/earbud ensemble. $US70 for 2GB of storage and 12 hours of playback time.

Also worth pointing out is that this, and the photos we saw yesterday, are of a pre-production unit that will be almost exactly the same, except without the silver bezel around the screen (there’ll be a black bezel instead to match the rest of the phone). Stay tuned for more Agora news – Mr Kogan himself is at CES and I’m sure the US guys will try and get a hands on this week. And if not, we’ll get our hands on a review unit soon enough…
