Last but definitely not least, Sony has also revealed that users can make use of the SRF-18 to record radio broadcasts into compatible devices such as its Walkman line of portable media players via the use of an audio output jack.
No prices for the SRF-18 have been released by Sony yet, although the company has confirmed that Japanese consumers can expect to see the portable radio on retail shelves come October 21 this year.
