    Since it was announced last August, we've anxiously been waiting for Sony's flagship Walkman Z (the 1st to add Android) to hit US shores. (It made it here well after the vacations passed. Better late than never, right?) While Sony is billing the Z as a Walkman initially, its spacious 4.3-inch display and 1GHz Tegra 2 SoC ensure it's powerful and well-sized for taking part in… »
