Sony announces Walkman F800 with 3.5-inch screen and Android 4.0

sony walkman f800

It's hard to believe that there still hasn't been a credible Android-based competitor to the iPod touch, but following the underwhelming Z Series Walkman Sony is having another roll of the dice. Details are thin on the newly-announced F800 Series right now, but it has a 3.5-inch screen and, perhaps most importantly, runs Android 4.0 complete with access to Google Play.

That alone should make it a more enticing proposition than similarly-sized competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6, though it's worth noting we have no idea what hardware it's using to power Ice Cream Sandwich. It comes in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB varieties, and Sony is claiming 4.5 hours battery life for video and 20 hours for audio. No word yet on a release date or price, but we'll let you know when we do.

New Nexus 7 16GB orders shipping in three to four weeks from Google Play

Nexus 7 box

The Nexus 7 may be Google's big play at the tablet market, but the ASUS-made device certainly hasn't been easy to come by. While the 7-inch tablet did meet its mid-July launch date, supplies have been low ever since it started shipping, and now the US Google Play Store says that new orders of the 16GB tablet won't ship for another three to four weeks. The first-party store and other retailers began selling the device last week, but most places...
