Is Sony’s Touchscreen Walkman Also Coming In Red?

redwalkman

The NWZ-X1000/NWZ-X1050/NWZ-X1051/NWZ-X1060/NWZ-X1061 is one of the most anticipated Walkman-branded devices to be released in known memory. The monolithic black music player boasts incredible features (OLED, Noise Cancelling, etc) and a cool black paint job. However, we are seeing something in the NWZ-X1000 FCC reports that makes us wonder – is it only coming in black? There are two requests for label color in the FCC ID *.pdf file for black and red. We’ve seen similar requests before with other Sony FCC filings, which accurately predicted available color variations for a given product, such as the black and gold Vaio TT.

    i’ve also heard @ the abi forums that they’re coming earlier than expected AND will come with a price cut. Does SI know anything about it?

    I’d prefer a unit in silver rather than red, but then why limit it to 2 colours, and not expand it to more like they had with older and current players.

    The following models will be released in the US pretty soon: NWZ-X1051FBLK and NWZ-X1061FBLK. Sit tight! =)

    It could be fluorescent orange for all I care. It’s vaporware until Ihave one in my hand.

    Silver would be great, but at this point, I’ll take any color ASAP!!

    Very good discovery, Christopher ;-)
    I’ve had a look at the color codes ( “pentane xx” .. ) so here is what I found out: http://www.mp3-player-forum.de/wordpress/?p=358
    I think this can give us a clue how the player might look.
