From the Sony booth – a look at Sony’s media applications

August 30, 2012 - 1:38 PM

Hey guys!

Just checking in – this morning we’ve been doing the rounds at the Sony booth, and having a play with Sony’s Media applications: WALKMAN®, Album and Movies – seeing how they look and function across multiple Sony devices.

Sony’s media applications mix the best of Sony’s signature and current technologies to connect you to a host of sweet entertainment services, including Music Unlimited! As a key part of the UI on Xperia smartphones, tablets and VAIO PCs, they provide connected and consistent laughs, smiles, giggles and joy…

Here’s a little more about them..

  • With the “WALKMAN®” application, you can play, recommend, discover and experience tunes in soul-moving, body-grooving clarity. Pick album art colour, and enjoy enhanced sounds through Sony’s audio genius; manual equaliser and Sony’s ClearAudio mode. Facebook integration makes it easy to share, recommend and find out what your friends are listening to… before debating and deciding on what to share via NFC one touch or DNLA ;-)
  • Sort, browse and share your favourite photos and videos with the “Album” application. The super-intuitive interface let’s you pinch, grab and zoom to enjoy your snaps in crystal-clear clarity (using your Xperia smartphone’s mobile BRAVIA engine, naturally). Fancy critiquing your snap-happy friends? Easy – see their Facebook photos, and add your thoughts instantly with likes and comments. As you’d expect, you can also throw photos via one-touch to friends, or to a big screen TV instantly and wirelessly.
  • Watch your favourite movies and TV shows with the “Movies” application, in the highest quality audio and video. For the budding film buffs amongst us, you can discover extra info using Gracenote’s rich database integration. And.. that’s right, you can also hook up to a TV via HDMI or DNLA to enjoy your own cinematography or the latest blockbuster on the big screen straight from your Xperia device!

Don’t take my word for it, have a gander at the shot’s I snapped earlier below for a first glimpse at Sony’s media applications on our new Xperia smartphones and Xperia tablet S.

Like what you see?

Over and out.

      Sanket thinks he will get it with ICS on U, Mani has not got it with ICS on P. So how and when do we get to see these apps on our phones? I am on Sola.

    As a owner of a Sony Walkman NWZ-A815 I’ve always been pleased by the folder mode of this player. Is a folder mode planned for integration in the Walkman app for Sony Xperia 2012 phones? Thanks

    You guys should make it easier to view images on this blog. I need to keep hitting the back and forward buttons to view each image. Kindly consider using a lightbox style image viewer – it’s great, and fairly easy to implement.

    Not really happy with the sound on my Xperia S. It simply isn’t loud enough!!! (Even with XLOUD turned on) I stopped using the Walkman app and started using a 3rd party app (PowerAmp) because Sony seems to want to treat us like children and keep us from using the products we pay for. I used to use an app that improves the sound quality on the previous stock player but it stopped working after ICS. I DO prefer the Walkman app, but I guess you don’t want people using your own apps? It looks and works great but PLEASE fix this!!!!!

    I wonder whether there is a difference to, in example, the Walkman app shipped with the WT19i? There surely are some features I’d like to see in this, and I wonder whether the “new” version is more advanced as far as this is concerned.
