    Sony: 3D will really shine once the games start hitting it off

    Posted on May 26, 2010 | No Comments
    "Not a fan of 3D movies? Wait till you play 3D games, that's when the technology will really shine." Not an exact quote, but that's the spirit of what Sony Computer Entertainment Europe President Andrew House said in a recent interview. The idea is that, OK, 3D movies may be just sorta there, but it's sitting there and playing something like WipeOut HD in 3D where you'll really gain an appreciation for the medium.

  • Sony turning to Intel chips and Android to revitalize TV sales

    Sony turning to Intel chips and Android to revitalize TV sales

    Posted on April 29, 2010 | No Comments
    Look out, Sony is actually trying something new and might announce Intel Atom-powered TVs next month at Google I/O 2010. A new Android released dubbed Dragonpoint is said to run on these TVs and will be just the beginning of Sony's venture into the so-called Smart TV market. The report comes from Bloomberg who sources two people familiar with the matter. The timing is certainly right. Sony hasn't been in the top TV spot for years, constantly losing marketshare to others like Samsung, LG, and even Vizio. Something needs to be done and so Sony is said to be testing a whole line of home entertainment devices that will bring the wonders of the Internet to TVs and Blu-ray players through Android. Logitech is even said to be in on the venture and will contribute a wireless keyboard that will work as a remote. But as sweet as an Android TV sounds, it might not be the right solution -- at least not for the North American market. This could either be a huge win or a fail whale.

    The Popbox SDK is now available ahead of its summer 2010 launch

    Posted on April 15, 2010 | No Comments
    Popbox was one of the stars of CES '10. It, along with the Boxee Box, will help even more consumers cut the cable cord and tear down the satellite dish by offering them legitimate alternative by binging Internet TV to the livingroom. Part of the appeal of the Popbox is the Popapps that allows developers to use the full capability of the device including playing back videos and music, viewing pics, and accessing local and network streams -- all using Flash. The platform is totally open and developers can now apply for the SDK.

    There's a story going around that 3D movies are harder to pirate. Really, then what's this: Coraline.3D.1080p.BluRay.x264-REFiNED? Are people incapable of buying a pair 3D glasses from Target or wherever it is people buy these things?

These are the sets that come with that oh-so-awesome QWERTY remote to work the TV's collection of Internet apps. It's too bad that most owners will still need a cable or satellite box because this TV line is nearly an all-in-one solution for home entertainment.

    Samsung announced recently that they will be mass producing 3D HDTVs. They are the first manufacturer to actually come out and say so, but I doubt they will be the last given the sheer volume of 3D technology we saw at CES. Samsung stated they will be producing three sizes initially, in 40-inch, 46-inch, and 55-inch screens. All three sizes will support the current 3D Active Glasses, which is currently the industry standard.
