Sony May Support Native MP3 (What Took
You So Long?) 09/22/2004 04:23 PM

Oh ho! Sony, who I had already pretty much counted out of the portable music game, has just stepped back up to the plate with the announcement (which makes for really boring baseball, really) that they will be supporting MP3 on their players, starting with flash players and going from there. That's the good news. The bad news is that their plans aren't official yet, so they could still drop the ball if they aren't careful. Oh, and there's nothing saying that the existing product line - on which millions of dollars worth of marketing and distribution have been slathered - will be able to be upgraded to support native MP3 playback.

Figure it out, Sony! And hurry!

Sony's apparently gotten the message: Some of its new MP3 player models will feature direct support for MP3 in addition to its proprietary ATRAC format. Support for MP3 will first appear in flash-based players Sony plans to release in Europe this year, according to reports, which also indicate that Sony plans to release MP3-compatible flash players in the United States.

digital music players 09/23/2004 11:15 AM
Xeni Jardin: Sony confirmed yesterday that it plans to add native MP3 support to digital music players, in a move that will likely help the products compete more effectively with more popular competitors like Apple's iPod. Until now, the Sony devices were designed to only play files encoded with Sony's proprietary Atrac music file format.

The shift from reliance on its proprietary format will begin with flash memory-based players, the electronics giant said, but plans are still being finalized on how and when products will add MP3 support. CNET News.com affiliate ZDNet France first reported of the change in Sony's strategy for the European market. U.S. representatives said the company is making similar plans here.

New Sony Cybershots, HP Photosmarts,
Including Sony T3 (Rawr!) 08/30/2004 09:56 AM

Gott im Himmel, ze cameras! There have been like two dozen new cameras announced in the last few weeks as various manufacturers start ramping up for Christmas, and Sony and HP are no exception. Among the new Sonys announced today are two pocket-sized beauties that I want right now: the T3, an update to the T1 and Japan-only T11, a 5.1-megapixel camera that is Sony's thinnest at less than three-quarters of an inch; and the DSC-L1, a candy bar 4.1-megapixel unit that is only 3.75-inches long. Just when I was ready to buy a new camera Sony has to muck it all up with at least two that really do it for me. Oh, and there's also the new DSC-V3, a 7-megapixel unit that looks mighty fine, as well.

The HPs, well, they are okay, but I'll be honest, they don't get me all riled up as much as the two featherweight cameras from Sony do. If they fixed the middling image quality of the T1 in the T3, that may be my next sidearm. Living Room has a bunch of the press releases, and I'll add to this post if any more info comes through during the day.

While Sony Tries To Become Apple,
Samsung Tries To Become Sony

While Sony Tries To Become Apple,
Samsung Tries To Become Sony 05/13/2004 03:41 AM
Has anyone noticed that it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell Samsung from Sony? It appears that almost everything Sony does, Samsung does as well. So, it's really no surprise that a little over a month after Sony announced plans to build out retail stores more for advertising than for sales, Samsung plans to do the same thing. Of course, while Sony says they're more interested in using the stores for advertising, Samsung has gone one step further. They believe so strongly that this "store" is just for advertising that they won't sell you anything at the store. It's for showcasing products only. Also, a random note in the article, but the same week that Sony and Nintendo announced their plans for their next generation handheld gaming devices, this article also mentions that Samsung is planning for its own N-Gage like phone/gaming device. Apparently, the dismal failure of the N-Gage isn't enough to scare them off.

Sony PSP at the AGC 09/09/2004 07:52 PM

Portable gaming nerds hungry for any scraps of information about Sony's upcoming PSP handheld might want to talk a look at ConsoleConspiracy, where they've cribbed some notes from today's "Programming the PSP" talk at the Austin Game Conference. Nothing particularly sticks out at the moment, although they do confirm that the 7.1 surround sound out thing was just a weird rumor. Oh, and the PSP will be able to hook directly to a PC via USB 2.0; that could have some interesting ramifications, if none other than convenience.

Sony Gets Stupider.

Unbelievably, Sony seems to be getting more clueless as time passes. Clueless about digital music. Clueless about consumer experience. Clueless about values. A week after launching the horrible Connect music service which seeks to turn the musty MiniDisc into the next iPod, Sony has released its first branded music portable, the Vaio Pocket VGF-AP1. 20 gigs, a nice screen which can display album art, and a touch-sensitive panel. All well and good. Except… this private-format little devil plays *only* ATRAC3 files— that’s Sony’s proprietary music-file format. You heard me. It doesn’t play MP3s. Using bundled software, you can convert MP3 to ATRAC3 for playback in the Vaio Pocket.

Please understand my vitriol toward Sony, and why I think the company’s music products are worthy of boycott. If it were a simple matter of Sony being clueless, we could merely laugh at it. The infuriating part is that Sony believes the consumer is clueless. Sony believes that we should forsake the de facto standard of music files (MP3), with its gargantuan installed footprint, in order to bless our lives with Sony’s format and Sony’s hardware. The arrogance is breathtaking and insulting. Even Apple, second-place winner of the Arrogance Prize, allows plain MP3s into the iPod.

Sony’s pathetic Connect service will be crushed by consumer indifference. The Vaio Pocket will be granulated by the erosive power of a smart marketplace. And, if there be a technology god, Sony will sink into the dinosauric quicksand, never to torment us with its foolishness again.
