Topic: Sony
The new items published under this topic are as follows.
They have added a new color variation of the 160GB model, a new GUI, a new VR dubbing function, etc.
Sony has announced detailed specifications and a concrete release date of the much anticipated VAIO type R series. We first reported on the type R series back in May.
And believe it or not, it's going to be released in America. Fed up with that 1080i? Have $80,000 USD to spare? This projector is for you.
Although these look strikingly similar to the Sony LCD I'm using right now, that's fine by me. Features include the Wega Engine, enough integrated tuners to shake a stick at, TruSurround Digital 5.1, a Memory Stick slot, i.Link, and plenty of input jacks.
If you didn't like the VAIO Pocket introduced by Sony a mere two weeks ago, take a look at this.
The VAIO Pocket did what...played ATRAC3 for 20 hours? You couldn't even transfer MP3s to it; you have to jump through SonicStage first.
Sony has apparently taken the hint. Similar to the portable AV player introduced by Sony in November of last year, this player has a 3.5" color TFT, and a 20GB capacity.
What sets it apart, however, is a wider range of compatibility for video files (namely MPEG-4), as well as MP3 playback. Yeah, not ATRAC3. It doesn't even play ATRAC3. But you do have to use MusicMatch.
Sadly, the specifications make no mention of DivX/XviD compatibility. That would be asking too much.
Title says it all.
They've pushed the products back a month, but add some color variations of the models and make a few minor changes.
Now if Sony decides to release something like this the day after they announce their 20GB audio/photo player, it makes you wonder why they wouldn't just go ahead and put one in there. It would be a good selling point...you'd think.
