IFA SPECIAL: Sony announces Qriocity music and movie services
2 Sep 2010 at 12:42am 
One of Sony's biggest announcements at the pre-IFA press conference was the launch of Qriocity, a network service platform that will provide streaming music and movies to Sony?s network-enabled devices.
Fujio Nishida, President Sony Europe said, ?Via Qriocity, Sony will deliver a variety of digital entertainment content and services that are ?powered by Qriocity?, including video, music, game applications, and e-books over time, and through these services, and in combination with its networked devices, Sony aims to bring new and exciting entertainment experiences to customers.?
Explaining that 'Services are a crucial part of the entertainment experience', Nishida explained that while Bravia Internet Video would continue to offer access to specific services from localised partners, Qriocity would be a 'cloud'-based service offering hundreds of movies on demand from top Hollywood studios and local content providers, plus the Music Unlimited service with access to thousand s of music tracks and synchronisation to Sony networked devices. 'This will change the way in which we all enjoy our digital music' he predicted.
Available in the autumn in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K, Qriocity media providers include 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, Lionsgate, MGM, NBC, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Movies will be available in HD and SD, and can be rented for 14 days. Prices have yet to be announced. Network-enabled BRAVIA TVs and Blu-ray Disc players, Blu-ray home cinema systems and the PlayStation 3 will support the service, with portable devices to follow. "Video On Demand powered by Qriocity? has been available in the US since April 2010.

IFA SPECIAL: Sony boss says 3D is progressing 'faster than predicted'
1 Sep 2010 at 6:53pm 
Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has described the adoption of 3D as being 'faster than predicted'. Speaking at a pre-IFA press conference, he said that after its best three months in the last few years, Sony was ready to 'drive innovation which is the lifeblood of our relationship with the consumer.'
With the entire press conference being filmed in 3D and projected on a giant 280-inch LED screen, Stringer introduced clips from 3D movies, games and sports events, plus live performances from internationally acclaimed classical pianist Lang Lang and techo act Genki Rockets. Emphasising Sony's complete 'lens to living room' solution for 3D production, Stringer said 'Sony is aggressively blazing the trail in every aspect of 3D... and is committed to developing new 3D applications' - such as the prototype 'holographic' display previewed by HCC last year, which 'could offer 360-degree movies and games'.
With the presentation concentrating on 3D movies, software, cameras, camcorders, and even VAIO laptops, there wasn't a great deal of emphasis on home cinema products; but Stringer did mention the VPL-VW90ES Home Projector, and STR-DA5600ES/3600ES receivers, of which more elsewhere.
The news comes as Sony anounces a deal with the UK's biggest cinema chain, VUE, to put Sony 4K 3D projection systems in 670 UK screens.

IFA SPECIAL: Sony announces first true internet TV in collaboration with Google
1 Sep 2010 at 5:20pm 
Sony has kicked off the 2010 IFA show by announcing the world's first true TV/internet combination, designed in cooperation with Google.
Speaking at the pre-IFA press conference in Berlin, Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer emphasised Sony's progress with 3D in TVs, BD players and projectors, of which more elsewhere; but more unexpected was the announcement of a TV with true Internet browsing, shown in prototype form.
Details are sketchy, but Stringer called this 'an important strategic alliance to bring the first true internet TV to the market', and emphasised that the un-named product would allow full Internet browsing and TV viewing at the same time.
Using the Android operating system and Intel processing, the TV would need some form of internal storage to operate with web browsers, though the form this would take, whether HDD or solid-state memory, is not yet clear.
The set is due for launch before Christmas in the US, by which time details of UK availability should be clearer. 
Pressed for more details on technical issues, Sony spokesmen could only say that the TV would 'not incorporate any groundbreaking screen technology', and that Google's search expertise would be used to make sure that internet searches would yield results appropriate to the TV plaform - so for instance a search for 'Mad men' would show sites about the TV series, rather than just any sites associated with the key words. 
The prototypes on show were clearly at an early stage of development, but demonstrated Sony's commitment to become what Stringer described as 'the first media technology supplier to deliver such a combination product.'
The development of the 'Google TV' will apparently not affect Sony's commitment to the Bravia Internet platform which offers access to selected services from a range of content providers. A Sony spokesman called the two technologies 'complementary' and said that further providers would be added to the Bravia Internet platform on a localised basis.
