Sony Network Walkman NW-HD5 (Verdict: Pretty Solid, but pricey)

With Rio finally out of the picture (RIP buddy) Sony may actually have a fighting chance to get some sells in the primarily Apple only MP3 player market. This is Sony’s fourth adventure into HDD based MP3 players, and it is actually a decent player. This is a 20GB model and has roughly the dimensions…

Robot Dog to Human: “Go for a walk, fatty.”

In last month’s episode of “What odd thing is MIT making now” we discovered the jerk-o-meter that analyzed telephonic speech patterns to determine if your “friends” really care about your “life” over the phone. Well this month the crazy MIT kids are making life even more pitiful with one of those Sony robotic dogs. This…

VAIO Type H and VAIO Type M

Sony’s been dropping VAIOs left and right lately. There’s two more VAIO desktop PCs that Sony Japan is set to launch on September 10th, the VAIO type H and the VAIO type M (How do they come up with these names? Randomly draw a letter out of a hat?). The VAIO Type H looks like…

Sony Vaio R – Pirates Only

Apparently Sony has been outsourcing their R&D team from somewhere in the Caribbean lately which is how they came up with the name “R” for their new line of computers. Unfortunately lead designer Jack Sparrow could not be reached for comment due to what his rep calls “swashbuckling and pillaging.” What Sony is telling us…

Blu-ray DVD Burner?

The DVD smackdown may still be going on, but Pioneer looks like its ready to take sides with its new BRD-101A, a DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-+DL and BR (Blu-ray) burner. We don’t have much info on it as of now, but we do know that it doesn’t seem to play CDs and DVD RAMs, which is…

Sony LF-X11M: Remote Outta Control

Wireless connectivity for the home has hit a new low with this Sony LF-X11M, “location free” television set. Now, instead of using a remote, the device sports a TabletPC-like input panel so you actually have to stand up from the lounge chair and “touch” the screen to access its content. The wireless monitor even enables…

HD-DVD: Screwed Again

Rumor has it that the Sony and Toshiba-led camps have once again failed to agree on a standard for next generation DVD products. The original end of August deadline has come and gone—and without the promise of joint development from the Blu-ray and HD-DVD camps, we’re looking at another massive Betamax vs VHS battle (although…

Playstation 3 to Hit France On March 15 2006?

Y’know, maybe Amazon is playing footloose and fancy free with us. First it’s the oddly affordable pricing announcement of $299 we saw on the main US site. Now Amazon France is saying they’ll start selling it on March 15 2006 for 399.99 (around 489 USD) — a LOT more than $299. This is all without…

The Sony Bean – Robot Poop or Next-Gen ATRAC Player?

It appears the Aibo is having some intestinal distress. The Sony Bean, which is shaped like a bean, is a small flash player with one-line OLED screen that is described as “Playful, Powerful, and Compact.” Playful and compact I can live with, but powerful might be a stretch. The bean has a pop-up USB connector…

WindowsLinux Virus Infects PSP

Apparently there is some sort of terrible virus that causes the PSP to turn into a “Windows box,” a zombie-like amalgamation of badly written code, or a “Linux terminal,” a violently dangerous Finnish virus that requires knowledge of something called a “command line” to extricate yourself from its clutches. This virus requires something called a…

Beautiful High Definition Sony Goodness

Three new Sony HD televisions are available in the UK and should soon be coming to the states. The kicker about these televisions is that they use high-tech image processing that manages to take non-HD sources and makes them look pretty as a pink pony paradise. The W series features a 40″ LCD and a…

MORTAL KOMBAT! Lik-Sang Getting Lik’ed by Sony

Ha! Lik’ed! Funny. UK PSP importer Lik-Sang is in deep doo doo for importing the PSP into the UK. Because Britain needs to learn to be patient, Sony is punishing the denizens of the Snoggy Isle by taking a very small PSP importer to court and essentially pantsing them to death. Apparently, this attack isn’t…
