Sony late this weekend ratcheted up claims for its CES plans by introducing a teaser page for new VAIO notebook line. The page contains little information but vows to supply a “revolutionary” new model and promises to “change the way you look at laptops,” suggesting a radical rethinking of Sony’s existing lineup and of notebooks in general. The countdown is set to expire on January 9th local time and points to an unveiling on the 8th in the US.
Sony is showing off an advanced lampshade made up of dye-sensitized solar cells that capture light and convert it into electricity at the Eco-Products 2008 show in Japan. The prototype is called Hana-Akari and uses what Sony calls is a process similar to photosynthesis to capture energy from any light source. Sony claims the technology is relatively inexpensive to manufacture compared to typical solar cells and relies on internal pigmented cells of various colors to capture light, including its own, and convert it into electricity.

Sony said it has broken a new barrier in cellphone cameras through an update to its Exmor sensors. The company has shrunk the pixel size to 1.4µm and now says it can produce a 12.25-megapixel, 28mm equivalent CMOS camera small enough to fit in some cellphones. The unit gives a cellphone the image quality and detail of a modern point-and-shoot camera, according to the company. It also operates quickly enough to shoot 1080p video as quickly as 27 frames per second and 720p at a TV-level 30 frames per second as long as the processor and storage are also capable of the same speed.
Sony Music Entertainment’s Japanese branch today unveiled a new disc standard that aims to bring the company’s lessons from Blu-ray to music CDs. Blu-spec uses the blue lasers that would normally master Blu-ray movies to cut CDs more accurately than would be possible with red lasers. In tandem with the use of polymer plastic for the discs themselves, the format should improve the quality of audio CDs while remaining compatible with existing CD players; the latter has been a weakness of Super Audio CD and other defunct sound formats. The first Blu-spec discs are due to reach Japan on Christmas Eve and will focus mostly on classical and jazz music, including Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 and Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue; 60 titles in all will be available from Sony. The company is hoping to foster cross-label support from rivals such as EMI and Universal that have developed their own proprietary approaches to CDs.

It is a mini robot launched by Sony which rolls around and dances to the music. Should be somewhat big with the kids this year. It also has a G force sensor accelerometer which detects if the player is moving up or down. Preprogrammed movements along with music can be downloaded from personal computers using Bluetooth. It has 2GB of flash memory to store music files. It changes colors during songs. It also flaps its wings during its dance. The whole concept of the cute dancing robot is wonderful.
