The New PRS-700 Sony Reader Looks Promising

By Vlad | October 3, 2008

We have been hearing about a number of eBooks and book readers. However, the ones that I have liked have always lacked some feature or the other. This most basic feature, which according to me has to be provided with a book reader, is the touchscreen facility.

The new PRS-700 Sony Reader features a 6-inch touchscreen. This stylish and sleek model also features a redesigned case and a built-in frontlight. This would be available later this month and is going to set you about $400 poorer. Text can be entered with a stylus on a full screen QWERTY keyboard and you can add notes, annotations and you can flip through pages using a stylus or a finger swipe.

Sony’s New Bravia TV Comes In Waterproof Model Too

By Vlad | September 3, 2008


Here is a great new TV by Sony that not only is a Bravia but also a portable device that is waterproof. How many times have you not wanted to watch the TV by the swimming pool or in the tub? I bet, almost everyday. Some of us also like watching TV by the beach. However, TVs are not waterproof and may stop working even at the slightest contact with water.

X1 From XPERIA Line Of PDA Models

By Vlad | August 24, 2008

If you wanted to know the pros and cons of the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 read on.  X1 might be the first of the XPERIA line of the PDA models, which is an ODM produced by HTC and consists of a keyboard. XPERIA is unlike the previous WM models containing metal over the front as well as the back panels and is light weight consisting of chrome coating. The X1 is not only stylish like other Sony products but it also consists of high quality materials as well.
The X1 has a long battery life, 3.5 mm audio jack, the XPERIA panels firmware launcher, powerful CPU, 256 MB of RAM. It also has WiFi and GPS facility with the very convenient FM tuner. Like any new technology the X1 also has certain disadvantages.  X1 is steeply priced, has dubious keyboard ergonomics, consists of a non-canon screen resolution, and the glaring absence of TV-Out. It also doesn’t have hardware 3D acceleration, which is such a shame. I think it is just not possible to have a phone that is all perfect. However, X1 is not such a bad idea.
