What Mystery Product Is Sony Ericsson Announcing Today? (UPDATED)

John Herrman — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 05:06:57 EDT

We're usually excited to get clued in on new product launches, but this vague tease from Sony Ericsson doesn't help us out much. Is it the Rachael? The Kiki? Release dates for some boring old feature phones? Something else entirely?

All we've got to go on is this teeny tweet from Sony Ericsson North America's feed:

new product announcements coming tomorrow... stay tuned here or become a fan on FB

Their Twitter history is short and conservative—hardly a place for leaks or innuendo—so trying to read the tone is basically pointless. Well keep an eye on any developments, but needless to say we've got lofty hopes.

UPDATED: Well, that fizzled, twice: On one front, we've got two feature phones coming to AT&T—the C905a Cybershot, and the W518a Walkman phone—and on the other, a "budget" Walkman feature phone called the W205. The feature list:

* Enjoy your music with the high quality Walkman™ experience
* FM radio – catch up with the latest news and views
* TrackID™ – name that tune at a press of a button
* 1.3 megapixel camera – take great shots and share the fun instantly
* Video recording – capture your favourite moments on film
* Bluetooth™ – share your favourite songs, pictures and video clips, or connect to a wireless headset
* Multiple phonebook – keep your contacts in order and share your mobile phone with your family

No word on price or release date. Oh well! Maybe next time, Rachael. [Sony Ericsson via Mobile Choice via Electric Pig

RED Re-Teases Nov 13 Announcement With Camera Ports, More Hyperbole

Jack Loftus — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 15:30:00 EST

In case you forgot there's a big RED announcement happening this week on November 13, RED CEO Jim Jannard is again lighting up the RED User forums with another cryptic tease. Saying nothing more than "Not sure what this means..." the outspoken exec lets fly some ports for the company's upcoming übercamera. As CrunchGear rightly notes, we're probably looking at two XLR ports, video outs and a proprietary connector. We'll know all on Thursday. And for all the pre-buzz, the RED people have made some really spectacular gear and we can't wait to see it trickle into consumer level gear. [RED User via Crunch Gear]

Tesla Teases Us With Model S 4-Door Sedan's Butt

Jesus Diaz — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 20:40:00 EDT

After laying off 90% of its Detroit staff, it seems that Tesla needs to keep the idea that they are still alive and eager to release their Tesla Model S sedan, even while it's going to be delayed until they get some money from the US Department of Energy. What you can see here is their chief designer von Holzhausen lifting the veil from the back of the $60,000 four-door electric car. [Business Week via World Car Fans]

Day breaks here in gorgeous, sunny and somewhat fabulous Las Vegas, and it's time for Day Two of the Photo Marketing Association Convention (PMA), that photogenic confab that you won't want to miss. Stick with the Giz for the skinny on all the big happenings here at the show, where today we'll get our greasy paws on the shiniest and newest from Olympus, Nikon, Panasonic, Samsung, Pentax and more. Plus, we'll find a few oddball objects here and there, too. All that coming up on our PMA 07 Day Two coverage. – Charlie White

Nikon 10.2-Megapixel DSLR Due in 20 Days

Charlie White — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 10:24:31 EDT

Take a look at the Nikon Imaging global site and you'll see they're teasing us, taunting us with a cryptic picture of a DSLR the company says will be available in 20 days. Just about all they're revealing so far is that it will have 10.2 megapixels.

Those in the know say this looks like an upgrade to the Nikon D70, and is probably not an update of the higher-end D200. We'll keep an eye on this one for you. – Charlie White
