Sony Ericsson today announced Live with Walkman, an Android smartphone with dedicated Walkman button for instant access to music player. The handset also has Facebook integration to like, share and discover multimedia content. It features a 3.2-inch touchscreen (480 x 320), 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera, 720p video recording and Sony’s xLOUD enhanced audio output.

Nikolaus Scheurer, Head of Product Marketing, Sony Ericsson said: “Consumers want smartphones to deliver a rich and social entertainment experience. Rather than a one dimensional music experience, they want instant and seamless access to new content, combined with the ability to share and connect with their friends. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman provides exactly this, in a powerful package with great style.”

The Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) based Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will ship in Q4 2011 in black and white colors. No word on price yet.
