... ? Sony to ship portable video, MP3 player next month | The RegisterHaving admitted this week that Apple beat it to offering the "Walkman of the 21st Century", Sony is fiercely fighting back to recapture the title. Earlier this month we reported on its first Vaio-branded colour portable music player, the VGF-AP1. Today, Sony unveiled a second machine, this time pitched even more as an adjunct to a home PC, but this time with still photography and video playback functionality. And in a rare move for Sony, the player supports MP3 rather than the company's own ATRAC audio format.
