Sony Rolly Rollies Into US
With the Sony Rolly now available in Sony Style stores nationwide, things will change. The television? Dead. The internet? Deader. The fireplace? Surprisingly, effective competition if the Rolly gets too close. Americans will take to staring at this little dancing 2GB MP3 player for hours on end, sacrificing heat, food and clothing to make due with the $400 price tag. We're sorry to be the bearers of bad news, but now that the wheels are in motion, it's too late to stop. More »

rolly
Seems like Sony's Rolly really is due out soon, and it'll be available in a black body version with a matching black cradle, as hinted at by the FCC filing. If black's too boring for you, then you'll also be able to trick your Rolly out with blue, red or silver replacement "arms". Maybe they're "wings"? Whichever: the little rolling, MP3-playing guy will be out in black from April 19th in Japan for around $400, while a colored arm set will cost around $15. Presumably Rolly will be rolling up on US shores sometimes soon after. [AV Watch]

Sony Rolly Rolls Into FCC, Next Stop Your Heart
Looks like Sony's living up to their promise to bring its odd little egg of an MP3 player stateside this year. It's in the middle of its required FCC tour of duty, which means it should be hitting retail here before too long. If the wait's unbearable, the FCC has plenty to tide you over: pictures (including some naughty ones under the shell), manual, a request for confidentiality and ooo, test reports. [FCC, Thanks Mitch!]

The i-spin (Also Known As Sega Rolly)
The next big trend in technology? Dancing robots. Yup. Sorry. It's fate. It's out of our hands. Like this Sega Toys i-spin, it either dances to ambient music or hooks to your MP3 player as a speaker—I mean, how will this not be the next consumer electronics revolution? After all, it dances. To music. So one day when we're sitting in goo to power the robots, it'll be for this, a coupla Sony Rollies and, if we're lucky, one of those gyrating Coke cans from the early 90s. [i-spin] Thanks Ken!

Sony US Prez Talks Stateside Rolly and OLED TV, Plus Apple, Blu-ray and More
UPDATED Today at an executive round table we went to in NYC, Sony Electronics president Stan Glasgow (center) and Sony consumer sales president Jay Vandenbree (left) answered some burning questions. When is the oh-so-sexy OLED TV coming to the US? "It could be before the end of the calendar year," says Glasgow, citing a dependence on production yields that are understandably "not very good." He called the 11" $1,800 set an "expensive small TV." And what about Rolly, the wheeled music player making the rounds in Japan? "I'd like to bring that in next year." The talk wasn't just about Sony's newest toys. Glasgow and Vandenbree talked about survival in a high-def world, fighting the format war, and what it's like to compete with Apple. More »

Video Hands On of the Sony Rolly in 'Action'
Here's a video of the Rolly demo at the Sony Building in Ginza. As you can see, it appears to have confused this nice man as much as it confuses me. Oh Sony, you're so crazy!

Sony Rolly on Sale in Japan Sept 29th, comes with Annoying Video
So, Sony's dancing Rolly is finally out today, after all that crazy hype. And I looked at it from all angles, sat through an arse-numbingly too-cool-for-school video &mdash feel free to indulge yourselves below &mdash and thought, do you know what? The egg-shaped dancing MP3 and ATRAC player looks like a small clone of the Miuro robot speaker. More »

Sony Trying to Tease Us With Upcoming Egg-Shaped Rolly Music Player
When we heard the rumor mill cranking out murky info about the Sony "Rolly" music player, all we knew was that it's egg shaped, might have built-in speakers and it has motion-activated features on board. Now Sony has opened up a teasing Rolly website with too many lame-ass and evasive videos on board, further hinting that this thing is motion-activated, button-less, communicates with other players, is small and might shuffle when you shake it. Sheesh, does everyone have to market their crap like Apple does? Our patience is wearing thin with this shit. More »

Sony Rumored to be Prepping Weird Egg-Shaped Music Player
Sony doesn't want to let its venerable Walkman brand die, and we're hearing rumblings of a new MP3 player the company is preparing under that age-old banner. The player's allegedly code-named "Rolly," and all we've seen of the nascent product is this close-up of its user interface that's part of a leaked video that was quickly concealed. Besides being egg-shaped and having built-in speakers, it's also said to have a few even more-eccentric features. More »
