Topic: Sony
The new items published under this topic are as follows.
Sony has denied the claims of Canada's Semiconductor Insights that the PSX uses a 130nm process rather than a 90nm process. For that article, see here.
"Regarding EE+GS peripheral memory, we have used a 130nm process in the past; but this EE+GS memory is designed using a 90nm process. Also, since it is a 1 chip LSI, we have been able to use this 90nm processor technique in final production. There is no mistake in the contents of our announcement made on October 26th."
Sony introduced two of their "Professional Disc for DATA" (23.3GB) optical disc drives today, for "professional" use. There is an external USB 2.0/SCSI model, as well as an auto-changer that can hold up to 60 medias....1.56TB.
More information inside.
I personally have not heard of this feature which was supposedly "widely advertised." Either way, the Canadians are claiming that Sony is not using a 90nm process, but rather a 130nm process.
They will add a few of the features, namely mp3 support, that were mysteriously taken out of the device immediately before launch.
More details inside.
This isn't so much of a "hey cool let's go buy one" type report as it is a "ok... tell me later when something good comes from it" type report.
Sony has integrated the circuitry with one of their smaller screens to be part of the screen itself. This is a bit complicated to explain, so it's better that you just take a gander at the image.
Just kidding.
Some of you may remember the older Airboard products, which, as far as I know, never did so well. They were simply too expensive to just have wireless TV and e-mail/basic internet, and it also had to be within your own house.
Not anymore. Sony has added a wide range of capabilities to the Airboard, making it a plausible purchase for people who can afford the nearly $1500 that it costs. Details inside.
Organic EL is a type of screen that is similar to LCD, but uses organic elements to create light. Sony is planning on releasing a PDA next spring that uses this technology.
