Sony on May 8 debuted the NW-A800 and NW-E010 series of Walkman digital music players for immediate launch in the Taiwan market. The players deliver excellent audio quality for market segmentation, according to Taiwan marketing president Hiroyuki Oda under Sony Taiwan.

In addition to high audio quality, NW-A800 series players feature continuous playback of either 30-hour music or 8-hour video, Oda indicated.

The two series were launched in the Japan market in March 2007, Oda noted.
