Sony yesterday announced their new VAIO X Series Notebooks which the company claims are the world’s lightest, thanks to a carbon-fiber body construction. The 1.6-pound featherweight notebook is a mere 0.2-pounds heavier than Sony’s diminutive VAIO P netbook and is ultra-thin too, measuring a tiny 0.55-inches thick across its entire length.

Sony today unveiled their new A850 Digital SLR as part of an update to the company’s Alpha camera lineup.

A Microsoft Surface-like device has…well…surfaced in a Sony patent app titled “Image forming device, having an ejection tray, and a display is mounted to a cover.” The device is essentially a flatbed inkjet printer with a large touchscreen display, that wirelessly downloads photos when a digital camera is placed on top. Once the download is complete, users can manipulate their images directly on the touchscreen and print them off, all through the one device. Thursday, 8 January 2009
Sony today unveiled a remarkably small, light and rather attractive Netbook called the Vaio P Series at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Sony have announced their 40-inch KDL-40ZX1, which takes the title of the world’s thinnest LCD TV with a thickness of only 9.9mm. Not quite the 0.3mm of their OLED, but getting there.

Sony has announced a brand new Bravia series model, the KDL-32JE1, which claims the title of the world’s most energy efficient TV. The new Bravia TV uses only 89W, incorporating fluorescent tubes which deliver higher levels of brightness with less energy. There have been numerous releases recently by electronics companies focusing on the environmental impact of their products. On Thursday we had the LG W2252te claiming it was the world’s most energy efficient monitor and yesterday we had the Samsung W510 grabbing the title of the world’s first bio-plastic handset. The KDL-32JE1 is a 32-inch LCD panel with 1366 x 768 WXGA resolution, 2500:1 contrast ratio and a viewing angle of 178 degrees. Sony has set up initiatives to further reduce its impact on the environment such as in-house recycling and reuse of plastics from old products and the recycling of waste material from the production of optical film used in LCD TVs. The new set will be available in Japan from July 30th for about ¥150,000 / $1,387. Source: | SUBSCRIBE:  Stay up to date! Get Mark's Technology News updates via RSS Or, grab your updates via email.
