Japan has had mobile digital television for almost a year now but it still hasn’t taken off due to technical obstacles, like poor carrier coverage and practically none on rapid speed transportation like Japan’s many train systems.

Now Sony wants to directly tackle the market by introducing the XDV-100 to consumers on April 10, hoping against hope that there’s …

The very same company that produced the M2 Heliodisplay mid-air projector has just come out with their latest project – the new M3/M3i Heliodisplay.

This nifty thing is basically a monitor that displays images in free space, just like those holograms of Princess Lea asking Obi Wan for help. With a viewing space of 30inches and a resolution of 1024×768, the display is quite blurry and not very stable. However, with advances this particular technology should become a big thing in the near future. Currently, this will set you back a very hefty …

Sony has unveiled a new T-series line of Cybershot cameras that are targeted to the tech-conscious who want quality functionality in a camera that’s also small enough to fit easily in a pocket or purse.

The DSC-T100 and DSC-T20 digital cameras are both 8 megapixel shooters in a thin, less than a half inch profile frame, featuring a Carl Zeiss optical zoom lens. The main differences between the two cameras are the zoom ability and the size of the LCD screen. The DSC-T100 has a big 3 inch LCD and 5x optical …

Technology continues to become more miniaturized day-by-day, with thinner, sleeker gadgets constantly rolling out from the design headquarters of the world’s electronics and computer manufacturers, but it’s dog-gone rare when a company beats its own record and renders its latest merchandise obsolete before it goes on sale.
