Sir Howard Stringer’s Vision – The “CES 7″

83246305DM028_The_Internati

During CES 2009, Sir Howard Stringer spoke about the “CES 7″ – seven imperatives for creating the ultimate user experience. These are seven goals for the entire Consumer Electronics industry and Sony – it’s very moving and definitely worth watching. One of my favorite quotes from this presentation is from the beginning, where Stringer states, “If you can imagine it, we make it real. A decade ago, the industry envisioned a future networked world – we made it happen. We said HD would be the future – and some doubted it – and we made it happen. We said that full wireless mobility would become widespread, and we’re making it happen. We said that Blu-ray would expand and dominate our visual horizons, and it has.” My apologies for the shaky camera work, but my arm was pretty tired at this point. We originally had this video up at Vimeo back in January (and it was deleted soon thereafter), but we have remastered and reuploaded it for your enjoyment.

Let’s hope Sony keeps to these seven initiatives!

    Haha, that was an amusing video, Tom’s jokes where hilarious! I’m really looking forward to Glasstron 2 or would it be called GlassBRAVIA or something now? Lol Whatever it will be called, I hope they have a HDMI connector for PS3 fun!

    Open Technologies. That’s right. Where is it? When will PSP and Walkman play OGG Vorbis, FLAC, Theora?
    And sustainable, too. Absolutely right. I remember my first VAIO computer, a desktop in 1997, that was Energy Star certified. I think the majority of Sony products are efficient. Keep improving efficiency, Sony!

    I’m not sure about open codecs but I know that eventually every Sony device will be able to access a Sony network, like the Playstation Store and Playstation Home one day. Amusingly enough, it does seem strange that Sony has never formally answered the public as to why they don’t open the door for more codecs. I mean, if you’re doing drag and drop then whats the hassle?
