NW-S739F/ST

The NW-S739F/ST is a special finish variant of the top 16 GB sixth-generation S Series model. It retained every technical specification of the standard NW-S739F: 16 GB storage supporting MP3, WMA, AAC, and WAV files, the 240x320 LCD, FM radio with recording, noise cancellation, video and photo playback, Clear Audio Technology, Omakase Channel, and 40-hour lithium-ion battery life.

This Walkman model was best understood as a presentation branch of an already mature player instead of a separate historical step. By this stage the S line no longer needed every version to justify itself with a new concept. Sony had finally built a platform stable enough to simply extend.
