The 1.4-lb. Sony Vaio, Just Right for Your Evening Bag
Holiday party time is approaching fast, and before you know it you'll be trading in that summer tote bag you're still holding on to for a pretty little evening bag. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take along your laptop for that moment when you need to do a quick e-mail check, or map out a route to the next fete, and you don't have a BlackBerry? Wait ... what kind of person is so uncool, such a Luddite, that she doesn't have a BlackBerry? Me. But I'm getting one soon, promise. In the meantime, if I had Sony's tiny, 1.4-lb. P Series Lifestyle PC, I could just slip it in my bag and go. Dimensions are just 4.8 in. x 9.7 in. x 0.8 in., and it comes in red (shown), green, gold, white, and black. The tech specifications are too much to get into here, but Amazon has all the info you need. Or keep reading after the jump for the official data from Sony's website. $999.99

Fashion-conscious female consumers who feel like most of the mobile phones on the market are far too ugly and masculine for their taste should be excited by the Jalou. The new cell-phone from Sony Ericsson, its named derived from the French for "envy", was designed specifically with fashionistas in mind, packing a two-inch display, 3.2 megapixel camera that tags your photos with their geographic location, an FM radio tuner, stereo Bluetooth, and even a built-in mirror, all in a compact clamshell that's touted as shorter than a lip-stick.

The phone is styled to look like a piece of jewelry, and will be available in Deep Amethyst, Aquamarine and Onyx black. But for the truly fashion conscious, there's a special edition made in conjunction with Italian fashion super-house Dolce & Gabbana that upgrades with a special Sparkling Rose color and trimmed in 24-karat gold plating, and even comes with a special wireless headset to match. Follow the link to our sister-site Engadget Mobile for all the details.

Sony Soutina Speaker

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


Sony has been coming out with some interesting speakers lately. Rigel recently mentioned the tiny Bravia Theater Micro System which put big sound in a package the size of a strawberry. Now check out the Sony Sountina. We're not talking small here, the six-foot tower is made of glass and has a 13 cm woofer and 7 cm mid range speaker. The speakers spread sound out in a circle giving listeners equal sound no matter where they are in the room. Even cooler, in dim light, the glass turns colors, displaying blue, amber, and purple. It sells for $11,800 from Dynamism.

$800 Speakers = Smaller than a Strawberry

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


Smaller has always meant better (and more expensive) in the world of technology, and it would seem that it's no different for the world of surround sound speaker systems. Sony's new Bravia Theater Micro System has speakers so small they make me giggle -- they look like something that was experimented on in that old movie Honey I Shrunk the Kids! With side, surround, and a center speaker that each barely measure up to a good sized strawberry, the system claims to sacrifice nothing in the way of sound and everything in the way of cumbersome space-gobbling size. The catch is that the collection's subwoofer is monstrous, but working to hide just the one piece seems like a small (pun intended) price to pay for such an "out of sight, out of mind" sound system. $799.99

Diamond Encrusted Playstation Controller

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets


Rich gamers want bling too, you know, and they only want to play with the very best of gaming equipment. So both of those statements might be true (I admit I don't really know) but I doubt either of them refers to bling or equipment like this diamond encrusted Sony Playstation controller. Made up of solid 18k white gold and over 68ct in black diamonds it's actually a pendant meant to be worn on a chain.

Yes, because that makes it all better.

No word on how much this little beauty is worth -- the owner claims it was a gift.

Sony's gearing up to take on Samsung in the giant LCD market with their just-announced Bravia KD-70XBR3. This monster boasts a 7,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, their new LCD backlight, blur-reducing "Motionflow" technology and a whole host of other next-gen performance specs that promise to make you feel like you're actually rocking the eighth Freebird solo in Guitar Hero II.

Sony Goes Pink In Europe

sony pink playstation2It's been a long time since I went on a pink gadget kick. Let the madness end, Sony is set to prove that pink is an apprporiate color for gaming devices. They have announced a limited edition pink Playstation2 which will be available in Europe. There is also news of a limited edition pink PSP bundle which is a collaboration with the singer Pink and will be available overseas starting in October. Cute but why only in Europe when one only needs to head into a mall and see the pink Razr phones everywhere to know that U.S. obsession with pink gadgets is alive and well?

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Michael Jackson, struggling to pay off the approximately $300 million that he owes to the New York hedge fund, Fortress Investment Group, has announced that he has reached a deal with the group. Though the exact details were not released, a part of the deal has Jackson selling half of his shares in the Sony/ATV music library - 25% of the total collection - to Sony. After the sale, Sony will own 75% of the library. Jackson's portion, which he purchased in 1985, is currently valued at half a billion dollars and includes the rights to 251 Beatles songs as well as music by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks.
