Sony NV-XYZ 77

2004-04-07

Yesterday, here in Japan, Sony announced their latest car navigation system, the NV-XYZ 77. For one, it shows models of the actual buildings so what you see on the car navigation system is extremely recognizable.

Second, it has a built in 30Gig hard drive. You can easily detach the system which is about twice the size of your average PDA and then you can connect it to your PC using a supplied cradle and upload updates to the maps as well as other media like MP3s!!!

Wireless TV

2003-07-17

On the train the other day I saw an ad for Sony's new Wireless LCD TVs. It comes with a box you plug your VCR and DVD player into. That box beams the signal to the TV so that you can carry the TV around anywhere you want. Making dinner? Carry it to the kitchen. Washing clothes, put it in the laundry room. Etc.

The new Sony DSC-F55 Digital Camera RULES!!!

Acutally I don't know if it rules are not but it looks pretty cool.

I used to own a DSC−F1 and I also owned a DSC-F55. I'm currently using a DSC-F505 (with the big lens) but I miss having something small.

Sony's Network Media Receiver

2002-11-13

I guess it's getting close to winter bonus time because the gadgets seem to be pouring out. Here's one of the things stuff I saw today.

Sony had setup a special shop in Shibuya just to promote this. They call it a "Network Media Receiver". It reads video files off your computer's harddrive over the net and displays them on your TV. It will also handle music and photos. It's controlled through a remote. Assuming your computer supports "wake on lan" which the latest sony computers support then you don't need to leave your computer on. It will start it up if it needs to.

The best part though was Sony made all the girls do their hair like this
