Sony Ericsson introducing Walkman cellphones

Remember how the other day Sony Ericsson said that 2005 is all about listening to music on cellphones? Yeah, well they're cashing in on the Sony part of their parentage with a new line of Walkman-branded music playing cellphones. They don't have any prototypes or pics or anything to show off,
but they did announce today at the big 3GSM World Congress (which is why there is so much damn cellphone news) that they're going to introduce the line in March. They say the phones will have large amounts of memory, good headphones,
the ability to easily transfer songs over from a PC, and will work with Sony's Connect online music store. Potentially a very smart move, but they better not fumble this; the once mighty Walkman brand name has taken enough of a beating in the past few years already, you know?

[Thanks, Eric]
