Sony begins the month of October with a new MP3 player.
Sony has just released the new NW-S706, which comes in an elegant elliptical form factor along the lines of the NW-E series -- that said, it appears to be an update to the NW-S205.

All we know so far, according to one British online retailer, is that the NW-S706 comes in three colors (purple, black and pink), packs 4GB of storage, up to 50 hours of battery life (probably only if you're bumping ATRAC), line-in recording, an FM tuner, and should be due out on October 9 for 180, or $336. We're still unsure if this is a Europe and Asia-only release, but nonetheless, we'd love to be able to snag one of these stateside real soon.

Specifications:

- 4GB Memory

- Noise cancelling technology (high value EX headphones)

- Channel separation

- 3 Line colour display

- Quick charge function

- 50 Hours battery life

- Line - in recording

- FM Tuner

You can shut out the rest of the world and enjoy your music with the added bonus of noise cancelling technology with this delightful MP3 player.
