I can’t say I’ve been holding my breath waiting for Sony’s latest X Series Walkman (NWZ-X1000) with OLED screen to release here in the US.  But today Amazon US officially received pricing info for the 16GB and 32GB MP3 player.  It will set you back $299.95 and $399.95, respectively.  Unfortunately, there is no mention of an actual ship date, but expect it any day now since Amazon rarely posts new products unless they’re a few days out from shipping.

As MWC draws closers we continue to see more and more handset leaks.  The reality of the matter is that the manufactures are ‘leaking’ many of these product images to generate buzz.  Regardless though, we still wanna to know more about Sony Ericsson’s Hikaru Walkman phone.  What we do know is that it includes a 2.6-inch screen (not sure if touch), Walkman player 4.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, WiFi, A-GPS and an 8MP camera.

And in case you’re wondering, Hikaru means ‘to shine’, at least according to Wikipedia.
