NW-Z1070/W

NW-Z1070/W

The NW-Z1070/W belonged to Sony's premium Z Series of Network Walkman. It provides 64 GB of storage and supports MP3, AAC, WMA, Linear PCM, and HE-AAC files. An 800x480 TFT display handled track information while a lithium-ion battery supplied up to 20 hours of playback. Touchscreen control, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, digital noise cancellation, FM radio, voice recording, and speaker output were included alongside WM-PORT, video and photo playback, S-Master MX, Clear Audio, DSEE, Clear Stereo, Clear Phase, and VPT.

A finish or regional branch of the same Z1070 platform, carrying the same larger meaning as the base model. The interesting part is still the same: Sony trying to build a Walkman that could exist in a world where dedicated music players no longer had the cultural assumptions they once relied on.
