The all-singing, all-dancing Sony Rolly gets new colours in Japan – before we even see one!
In addition to the original white Rolly, Sony has announced a black shade to match your black, black heart. Although heaven knows what an angst-ridden music fan like you is doing with a dancing MP3 player!
In addition to the black colour, or lack thereof, there’ll also be some new speaker covers, in tones of red, blue and silver, as shown above. They’ll apparently cost ¥1,500, or around £7, and for the actual Rolly itself, in…

IT'S Easter this weekend – so what better way to celebrate than with CHOCOLATE!

Apple has done a good job of turning Walkman into a duff brand (well, at least until Sony Ericsson's successful music phones), but Sony is looking to get its MP3 mojo back with Rolly, an innovative new player.

Nevertheless, Rolly has been creating a stir online with a drip-feed of internetweb leaks. The latest is a video showing it in action – feast your eyes below:
