23 October 2010, Singapore – 98.7Fm’s Muttons made an appearance today at Scape when Sony distributed the new E450 Walkman trial sets to 100 lucky Facebook fans to try them out for 1 month before it gets launched in Singapore. I understand that around 1600 Facebook fans responded to the call for trialists.
