    Having successfully fought HD DVD to the death, Sony can now focus its attention on you know who with the release of their bigger, badder NWZ-A820 Walkman. Sony's followup to its 2.0-inch A810 (pictured) media player boasts a 2.4-inch QVGA display, up to 16GB of flash, 13.5mm EX headphones, Bluetooth stereo audio, and up to 10-hours of video (H.264/ACV and MPEG-4 support) or 36-hours of music (MP3, AAC, DRM'd WMA, and linear PCM supported) playback off beefier battery. The A820-series will ship in black, silver, gold, and pink in NWZ-A826 (4GB), NWZ-A828 (8GB) and NWZ-A829 (16GB) models all hitting Europe starting this April for undisclosed prices. US too if that FCC filing is any indication. Pics as we get 'em.Update: Adding insult to mystery, PRWeb has pulled the press release for the NWZ-A820. Jump the gun did we? No worries, we kept a copy which is now available after the break. Still no pictures, unfortunately.

    The three desperate Sony fanboys out there waiting for a new Walkman to badly render and incessantly spam our tip jar with just got a treat from the grey suits at the FCC: test reports for three new NWZ-A82X-series Walkmans with sketchy drawings of the backside product label. Apart from finding test results for a Bluetooth 2.0+EDR radio -- which points to A2DP support -- there's not much to go on here. Given the sizes in the diagram, we'd guess that these'll share the basic form factor of the NWZ-A81X units, but you never know how the NWW-A826, NWZ-A828, and NWZ-A829 will rock our world when they eventually hit -- or do you? We await your replies with anxious fervor.
