Walkman NWZ-1060 Update Where?

Tokuchi — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:57:59 GMT

Has this product been discontinued? Does anyone know if it will be receiveing Android 4.0? Some applications now require 4.0+ to work and for a product that was launched in 2012 to not be able to run these application (Chrome, Horn e.t.c. ) is a major dissapointment...

Hi Tokuchi and welcome.

Any updates will appear on the Support Pages for your model here: -

However, it looks like only the new NWZ-F805 appears to have the update.

I have the same problem with the update. I downloaded the update file, ran it and it just says connect device. The 1060 is already connected as per Sony online update instructions. In a word, CRAP...

Sony if you do not do something about this and help all those with the problem you should be ashamed. One thing for sure if I dont resolve this problem I will NEVER buy another sony product in my life...
