Today in Barcelona at the 3GSM conference Sony Ericsson Announced their newest Walkman phone, the W950. The latest hybrid device features a side jog dial and touch screen which should make navigation pretty simple—which is necessary considering the device holds up to 1,000 songs in its 4GB of internal memory. The full color 320x240 screen promises to be super crisp (it's Sony, after all) and can be viewed in a horizontal mode for watching videos. With a flush keypad and slim form factor (15mm), the device should fit nicely in a pocket. No word yet on when it's going to be available, and chances are it won't be distributed by any US carrier, but that's easily averted through our Chinatown hook-up.

Available on 22 October 2008 for $179, this device offers the first user experience that even comes close to the ease, quality and delight of the iPhone interface.

The lastest in Motorola's line of music phones, the ROKR E8, has a new feature that (believe it or not) rivals the iPhone. The innovation is a little piece of tech called "localized haptic feedback," which makes pushing a button on the touch screen feel like actually pressing a button. This is achieved by a small vibration under the spot where you touch, and...
