on February 6th, 2009 at 2:09 pmSony has launched a number of new products for 2009.
The company showcased a new wireless BRAVIA LCD TV, Handycam camcorder, car audio range, walkman MP3 players and VAIO P ‘Pocket style PC’ at a media launch this week.
According to Jun Yoon, channel marketing manager for VAIO at Sony Australia, the eight inch notebook is small enough to fit into your pocket and has instant email and net access.
“The VAIO P series will curve out a class all of its own,” said Yoon.
“It will appeal to the style conscious user who is not willing to compromise on having the latest technology.”
The VAIO P weighs about 620g and comes in red, green, black and white. It has a full flat surface, screwless bottom, and is based on Windows Vista with built in webcam, wireless and Bluetooth.
The other devices are the ZX1 and EX1 LCD TV, nine new high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) camcorders, all available in March.
The MEX-BT4750U and CDX-GT680UI car audio units have USB AND iPod connection and the Walkman X series feature OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) on a 3-inch touch screen display while the Walkman W series is a cord-free MP3 player, available in March and April respectively.
thanks, your article is very informative.
I researched this TV by reading reports from a major consumer magazine and the reviews in Amazon. I also looked at the TVs from Samsung in the local stores. But locally this model was very hard to find. I did find next model down in 52 inch and comparables in the smaller sizes.
Several reviews said the picture was “stunning” or “spectacular”. Well we have owned this TV for 3 weeks now and the picture is truly stunning. As I read in one review, it is like you are on the set watching the characters and action.
Even our standard DVDs look much better than with our old LCD TV.
Pros:
Excellent picture from Sattelite, Standard DVD and Over-the-air sources.
Simple setup and adjustments. There were minimal tweaks to set things up.
(but then I only have it hooked up to my home theatre receiver and OTA cable).
Cons:
- slow to power on to picture, delays in picture appearing when changing channels or sources. (but not a major issue.
- Screen is more reflective than most LCDSs I have seen but not as much as Plasma or CRT Tvs. The brightness of the picture does overcome this in my situation but I would check it out if you are using it in a very bright room.
If I had to do it all over again I would definitely buy this TV.
I bought it from Amazon and the price was much less than what I could find locally. The delivery went smoothly.
