This new AT&T spot feels more like a dated ad for a video game than for the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone and music player.

A stylish young man then walks through city streets that change in appearance as the music shifts through different styles. Ultimately, the guy walks through a futuristic cityscape on invisible sidewalks suspended in air.
