The new mystery surrounding the highly anticipated NWZ-X1050/NWZ-X1060 touchscreen Walkman is the release date. We initially pegged it for Summer of this year, but it seems like that it may come sooner. Sony USA said Early Summer. Several of our readers have found that Amazon UK is now projecting a release date of May 10th, while another UK e-tailer Play.com is saying March 30th. We are almost certain it will be May 10th for Europe.

What I find most amusing is that Sony Japan hasn’t even acknowledged the X-Series yet; so to our Japanese readers out there, you may be waiting a little while.

When do you think it is coming out?

p.s. Just to bring awareness to USA pricing, we have multiple sources confirming that the 16GB model will cost $299, and the 32GB model will cost $399.
