Update: The NWZ-B142F (2GB) and NWZ-B143F (4GB) are now available at a suggested retail price of S$74 (US$52.24) and S$99 (US$69.89) respectively.

If you like the NWZ-W202 Walkman's Zappin feature but still prefer a more traditional player and headphone setup, Sony's new NWZ-B140F Walkman MP3 player might just be the ticket.

Zappin facilitates track selection by playing the chorus of all tracks in the music library. The new players will be available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, and in four colors. On the specs list are: Three-line LCD, quick charge, bass enhancer, FM radio, and voice and FM recording. Only MP3 and WMA formats are supported, and it will keep playing them for up to 18 hours.

The 26g Walkman will be bundled with MDR-E804 headphones. The player is expected to arrive in July 2009 for the Asia-Pacific region. No official word was given on pricing as yet, but Sony claims its player will be affordable.
