D-EJ785

The D-EJ785 tightened the late CD Walkman formula into something a little more polished for daily use, with a slim body, a backlit remote that handled most interaction cleanly, and useful compact touches like bookmark playback and solid battery life. It is built around the assumption that the player would spend most of its time in a bag or coat pocket instead of out in the open.

That kind of refinement mattered more than any single feature by then. The D-EJ785 is part of the endpoint of Sony refining the interface around what people actually touched and used once the underlying format had already matured.
