TV: THE CENTER OF BROADBAND ENTERTAINMENT
Kunitake Ando, Sony's president and COO: "Thanks to broadband, content (movies, music and games) and technology will integrate more closely than ever in the new age" The centerpiece of Ando's stage show was Sony's array of widescreen digital and high-definition TVs and a a 24-inch television no thicker than a few sheets of paper, based on a technology called Organic Electronic Luminescence.
Ando also demonstrated a number of new upcoming products, including a new personal digital assistant in the CLIE line that features a built-in, 2-megapixel digital camera and wireless connectivity via both Bluetooth and high-speed WiFi networks. He also showed off a media server, called CoCoon, that was introduced last year in Japan and will reach the rest of the world this year. The company described CoCoon as a broadband jukebox for audio and video. A similar device, RoomLink, acts as a wireless server for pulling media recorded on a PC to a television.
Those devices, like many of Sony's products, feature security designed to protect digital media from being copied or shared beyond the uses intended by movie studios and major record labels, a key protection sought by entertainment companies.
