Introducing the WALKMAN Bean!

Sony UK:
As cute as a jellybean, the WALKMAN Bean is equally tasty. The easiest (and smartest) MP3 player you'll ever use, it comes in four candy colors and is as cool on the outside as it is on the inside!

Everything about the WALKMAN Bean says 'cool'. So called because it looks like a jellybean, this new MP3 player comes in three tasty colors: white, pink and black. There is also an exclusive blue model which can be found at Sony Centers and online at Sony Style.

The WALKMAN Bean comes with a built-in pop-up USB plug which means that when you hook it up to your PC, you don’t even have to hunt around for a wire as it connects directly. Easy and convenient!

What's more, it's simple and superfast to charge up. Faster than all the other players on the market, you only have to charge it for 3 minutes to get 3 hours of playback, though if you charge it to capacity you'll then be able to use it for 50 hours non-stop.
Is it possible that Sony has actually learned from the errors of the past? Time will tell, but I'm guardedly optimistic.
