Contrast – The Flex OLED VAIO Laptop Of Our Dreams?
Sony’s Contrast* Flex OLED VAIO laptop is a super-thin laptop product concept. We were able to catch footage of its introduction video at Sony’s exhibit during CES 2009.

Sony is getting greener each day…with its successful recycling program launched last year- Sony’s National Take Back Recycling Program, we have witnessed some interesting developments in solar energy shown off at CES 2009.

Sony Wins Big At CES
Sony won more than twenty awards at the 2009 CES in nearly every product category they have major investments in. Sony really won big in the TV and digital imaging category.

CEA Really Treated Bloggers Well For CES 2009

Here is a video and some pictures we took at CES 2009 of Sony’s flexible OLED display.

I noticed some dead pixels in the display though, perhaps the endless bending finally took [...]
Review: BCS National Championship Live In 3D HD
Oklahoma versus Florida was a game that I looked forward to the most aside from UGA’s bowl game.

Sony announced at CES that they are set to update its higher end Bravia television line by introducing the juggernaut XBR9 series, which should be available to most consumers by Spring 2009.
