Sony's 3D Laptop, Electronics of the hereafter

At the recent Ifa electronics show, Sony showed us its prototypes of a to be launched Sony 3D laptop. It also has active-shutter glasses that come with it. What these glasses do is that they isolate the view of your left eye from that of your right eye. This results in an astounding pictorial experience.

These 3D laptops are ready to be launched in spring 2011. Using frame sequential technology, these laptops rapidly cycle the full screen view between left eye and the right eye. It has blank screens in between to reduce crosstalk and provide a much best image capability to the user. The laptop will show videos at a rate of 240 frames in a second which is important to catch up with a rate of 3D videos at 60 frames per second.

Along with the laptop, Sony also announced that it will add new firmware features to its existing blu-ray players and play middle point 3. They are doing this so that they can also add the 3D feature to these gadgets. Gaming would of course become a whole new caress if this plan is implemented. Games like Mortal Kombat, Sly Trilogy and Virtual Tennis four will see new fans once this technology arrives.

Some people love the huge screen caress while others prefer small screens that they can use by their bedside or keep in their palm. For the big-screen lovers, Sony has announced a 3D projector called the Wv-90. The new 3D projector employs the same technology as the Sony Bravia Tvs namely the active shutter system. This means that the required glasses will also work across the line. I can only dream what a great viewing caress that would be, Just can't wait for the embark on and get my hands on my own big screen.

Here comes the real big news! Sony is planning to embark on its own 3D Tv channel. This announcement came from Howard Stinger himself, the Sony chief executive. He said the content of the channel could consist of history, science, appeal pictures and children's programs. This could be a great embark on for Sony as it would introduce something new and rare from such companies.

For football fans, a great news is that Sony will be releasing the highlights of the World Cup 2010 in South Africa on blu-ray disk at the end of this year. So it's all fascinating stuff at Sony these days. The advent few months will be great to look out for at Sony! If you are a technology geek, then of course you will find it difficult to wait for all these launches. But be patient, patience has its rewards and that's what Sony wants you to do by announcing it so early.

The Sony Vaio P Series - The Debut Sony Mini Laptop

At last, a Sony mini laptop is here, the Sony Vaio P Series. Although not in the form some originally expected, an adapted Via Openbook, the Sony Vaio P series has all the size and weight credentials that a netbooks should have. It weighs a minuscule 638g, that's colse to two thirds the weight of the former netbook; the Asus Eee Pc 701. Like the heavenly thin MacBook Air, the P-series is also under 2cm thick at 19.8mm and only "slightly larger than an office envelope."

But the impressive specs don't stop there...

The Led backlit screen, 8 inches over and in a widescreen format, has a surprisingly high 1600x768 resolution (compared to 1024x600 for your daily netbook). At that resolution, it's unlikely you'll ever need much side-scrolling again, since most webpages aren't that wide. Battery life is stated as 4 hours for the suitable model, or 8 for the large capacity battery - sufficient for a full days work.

My jaw hit the deck when I saw how much Ssd drive storage the P series is gift - up to 128Gb. Ssd or Solid State storage requires no enthralling parts and is thus very durable. But it's very costly to furnish a large storage Ssd installation which has meant most netbooks have had colse to 16Gb tops. A hard drive version is also available gift 60Gbs storage.

Sony has incorporated some genuinely clever extra features. Firstly, a Gps which needs no internet connection (in the Usa and Canada only - more of that later), Windows Vista - a first for a computer this small and an array of connectivity options; Wireless Lan 3G Broadband, 802.11n Lan and Bluetooth so you're related wherever there's movable phone signal. Other more suitable features like the 'Motion Eye' webcam and microphone are also included, not to forget the Sony 'xross media bar', coarse with the PlayStation 3 and Bravia Hdtv range.

The inclusion of Vista is interesting. Most netbooks haven't strayed above 1Gb of Ram whereas the new Sony has 2Gb. Processing power is a bit on the light side however since the P series will only come with a 1.33Ghz processor from Intel, not the Intel Atom coarse with most netbooks - maybe suggesting how much Sony wants to disassociate itself with the "cheap and cheerful" netbook look. As we previously mentioned in our description on the Vaio Tt - try searching netbook on Sony's Vaio site - nothing.

Of course, it's only just been made available in the Usa (today 8th January) - starting at 9 which works out about £600 at todays (painful) transfer rate. And here's the good bit...

It hits the shelves in the Uk as well as in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia in February. We can't wait to get our hands on one.
