Jeopardy Set At CES 2009 Will Be Massive

Sony Electronics Inc. will be at CES 2009 as usual, but we spotted the Jeopardy booth that will reside adjacent to it this year that they had mentioned briefly during CES 2008. Sony Pictures Television’s syndicated show “Jeopardy” will tape 10 episodes before a live audience. A specially built set with state-of-the-art electronics will be on the [...]

Howard Stringer To Deliver Keynote At CES 2009

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has announced that Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony (and honestly their best public speaker, ever), will deliver a keynote at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Stringer will speak live from the Venetian’s Palazzo Ballroom to kick off the huge trade show event [...]

‘Sirius Connect’ SIR-SNY1 (Sony @ CES 2006)

Here’s something cool we came across at the car audio section of the Sony Booth:

Generic description:
This handy package lets you receive the great programming of SIRIUS through any 2004-up Sony stereo with satellite radio controls.
The SIRIUS radio plugs right into the back of your Sony stereo, and sends channel information, including channel name, artist name, [...]

MDR-710LP (Sony @ CES 2006)

Sony presented a ultraportable headphone that was reminscent of the ‘eggo’ line from years ago dubbed MDR-710LP. I wore it for about a minute, and it was connected to a NW-E507; I would say it’s a fair headphone for the price if you can’t score an ‘eggo’ and want something compact and convienant but can [...]

PRS-500 ‘E-Reader’ (Sony @ CES 2006)

(click here to view initial video)
We’re a little late with this summation, but some technical difficulties arose with the video and it was necessary to shop around to find the best way to distribute it without killing our bandwidth. Nonetheless, during Sony’s expo at CES ‘06, the new E-Reader was in major focus as well [...]

VAIO Wireless PC Audio System (Sony @ CES 2006)

An interesting wireless unit debuted during CES that has a very similar facade to the Compact Premium Audio System we mentioned earlier today. Just like most of the hardware that has debuted at CES, details are a little slim but apparently it will work flawlessly with Sonicstage and Connect Player — meaning Sonicstage may see [...]

MDR-EX90LP (Sony @ CES 2006)

Looks like the latest successor in the MDR-EX series has appeared at CES. Details are a little sparse, but I managed to learn from my favorite Sony representative that the MSRP should be $99.95USD. The ‘buds themselves will have 13.5mm Drivers to “allow wider dynamic range”, neodymium magnets, aluminum housing, and a “premium” leather case. [...]

4GB + 8GB MS Pro Duo (Sony @ CES 2006)

Looks like Sony is dropping the 4GB and 8GB MS Pro Duo to coincide with their new Video service for the PSP in March, 2006. No MSRP at this time, but this post will be edited with that information soon. Obviously, at the inital offering it will be extremely expensive, but after six months it [...]

Compact Premium Audio System (Sony @ CES 2006)

Sony debuted a new portable speaker set for the NW-A3000 + NW-A1000 featuring the S-Master Digital Amplifier. Model number, specs and so forth are not available at this time and the demo unit was not very functional. From what I could tell, it will have a “surround” type option for sound, line in, and infrared [...]

Connects2 Walkman Car Adapter (Sony @ CES 2006)

Fear not, those of you who expressed frustration yesterday from Sony’s iPod car adapter; Connects2 had a small display within the automotive section displaying a Walkman-compatible head (DIN) unit adapter. The test NW-A3000 that was hooked up to it had a dead battery within, but a user should be able to do all of the [...]

Connect Video (Sony @ CES 2006)

Hidden away in a circular booth on a Vaio laptop I found myself staring at what will most likely be Connect Video (aka ‘Vongo’), the recently announced service that is a joint collabrative effort by Sony, Microsoft and Starz. It looks like it will be a monthly fee based service at $9.99 and initally cater [...]

Sony’s iPod Car Adapter?! (Sony @ CES 2006)

In an absolutely stunning move, Sony has dropped an iPod ‘Xplod’ Car Adapter — model number XA-110IP. Even the Sony representative hovering around car audio agreed that it was a truly unbelieveable offering from Sony, but a true sign that Sony is ready to play ball with the consumer and adopt whatever will make cash; [...]

NW-A3000/NW-A1000 US Debut (Sony @ CES 2006)

Finally, I found a booth displaying the NW-A3000 and NW-A1000 with an unspoken promise of release in the United States (”It will be ready when we decide that the software is ready — there are no hardware problems.” one executive said). I was surprised that they weren’t actually going to debut the NW-A1200, which I [...]

Sony CES Introduction (Sony @ CES 2006)

Welcome to the first part in a series of updates revolving around the Sony experience at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2006. Sony at CES is a myriad of new products and others that have been available elsewhere in the world for a while. All of the big players in the Connect team are suited [...]
