The NW-Z1060 was the 32 GB model in the first Z Series Network Walkman lineup. It kept the same Android-based platform as the Z1050, with an 800x480 TFT display, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, touchscreen control, speaker output, WM-PORT, video and photo playback, S-Master MX, Clear Audio, DSEE, and support for MP3, AAC, WMA, Linear PCM, and HE-AAC files. Battery life was rated at 20 hours.
The extra storage made the first Android Walkman platform feel more practical. It had enough room to support the broader media role without changing the device's basic character. The Z1060 is the more balanced version of the original Z idea: connected and phone-adjacent, but still presented as a serious dedicated Walkman.
