I just saw that Sony has uploaded Walkman Z's music and video players in Android Market, so I was wondering whether someone can get the apk from there and post them here, so we can install it on our Xperias?

Media players for WALKMAN™
https://play.google.com/store[....]m.sony.walkman.mediaplayers.wm

I already found a method that give us the ability download the apk-s directly to our PCs - http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/ , but unfortunately I don't seem to get it to work, as this method is using my phone's ID ( Xperia Pro ), which, according to Play Store, is incompatible with the apps. So we need someone with at least Nexus S or the actual Walkman Z.

The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand...

Yeah, it says they're incompatible with the Xperia PLAY too. I was looking forward to installing these - I hope there is a way of getting them to work.

In the meantime, I've found a nifty little Sony music App that does work.

Yes, but that one is stupid, just like the rest of SonyDNA's portfolio. The original Walkman Z photo viewer is much more advanced.

I dont see the point of this. It is like if sony consists of 5 different companies doing what they want with 5 different design ideologies.

^^ Well - SonyDNA, Sony Mobile ( Xperia ), Sony Walkman, Sony Tablets and Sony PSP and many more...

EDIT: another tool for downloading APKs from Play Store - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539375 . This one makes the job even easier. We just need someone with Nexus S/Galaxy Nexus who can download them for us.

Good news guys
I got hold of the Walkman Z media player, will test it on my XS and report back. If it works fine, will put up a download link in a while.

The Z apps don't install on our Xperia S

Is anybody here an expert who can edit build.prop and sign the apps so they work on our XS phones ?

Anyway here are the apks. If anyone can get these to work, please post a guide on how you managed to do it. Thanks !
