Sony Ericsson Announces Zylo and Spiro Walkman Mobile Phones

Sony Ericsson today announced a new duo which continues the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone legacy. Aside from music features, the Zylo and Spiro provide convenient social networking features: from Twitter to Facebook, consumers can catch up with friends at just a touch of a button while still listening to their favourite music on the Walkman player. Another key function available on both phones is TrackID which allows consumers to access the name and artist of a track they hear playing wherever they are.
