How to use Walkman button on Xperia E1

Sony xperia e1 comes with dedicated walkman button, it's probably the main feature of this phone, the walkman button provides shortcut for playing music.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i think sony xperia e1 is the only xperia smartphone that has dedicated walkman button/walkman key.

In case you don't know where the walkman button is, the walkman button/walkman key is located on top left side of xperia e1.

How to use walkman button/walkman key on xperia e1 :

• Long press the walkman button to open walkman app
• Press walkman button one time to stop and play song
• Press walkman button twice to go to the next song
• Press walkman button and shake the phone to play random song

It's really nice to have dedicated walkman button on low end device like xperia e1, the walkman button gives quick access to music, making xperia e1 perfect music phone.

The walkman button also give me an idea to use it for something else, with simple hack i can make walkman button to launch other thing.
