Sony applies for wireless power patent, wants to daisy-chain your energy
Posted by Gsurface
on May 16, 2012
No comments
As much as we’re familiar with wireless power, we know developing a truly contact-free form of charging has a whole raft of extra challenges, such as getting into the sweet spot for power delivery and the potential traffic jam caused by throwing another device into the mix. Sony thinks it has these problems licked through a newly-published patent application. Its method uses location-finding to steer users until they’re close enough for the wireless power source to reliably do its job. In some cases, it can use one mobile device to relay power to another, keeping everything fed even if the main power hub is tied up. Multiple power sources next to each other can go so far as to decide which of them should be the one to send power. The patent isn’t a certain sign that your VAIO or Xperia is about to cut the cord altogether — Sony first submitted this vision of the future in 2009. Even so, it gives us hope that our gadgets will one day start charging themselves instead of making us hunt down a wire or charging plate.

Panasonic, Sony purportedly entering into OLED TV team-up, torrid love affair

Sony might not have taken long to find a new date in the TV scene after breaking up with Samsung late last year: if you believe Nikkei, Panasonic is the belle of the ball. The two Japanese firms are reportedly hoping to speed up the development of cheap, mass-produced OLED TVs by sharing each other’s design techniques, including a Panasonic method for printing OLEDs on a scale that lets the company avoid $ 9,000 price tags. Neither Panasonic nor Sony has confirmed the talks, of course, and there’s no guarantee a partnership will emerge even if it truly gets hot and heavy. Still, if real, we’ll be on the lookout for a PanaSony OLED TV at CES in the future.

Finally escaping its plate glass prison at CES, Sony’s unveiled its first Ultrabook, the VAIO T13. It’s set for release next month and currently packing an Intel core i3-2367M processor (no 3rd generation processor just yet), within a 323mm frame that weighs in at around 1.6kg. Storage is a hybrid of a 320GB HDD and 32GB SSD, hoping to juggle fast start-up times with capacity, while a HD web cam beams out from above the 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) display. There’s 4GB of DDR3 memory with Intel’s own HD Graphics 3000 on the side and Sony reckons you’ll be able eke out up to nine hours from its SSD model. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI output, and USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. Interested?

We’ve been hearing about glasses that only display subtitles to those who need them for years (most recently with a trial run in the UK), but it looks like they’re now finally about to enter the US market in a fairly big way. Regal Entertainment Group announced today that it’s partnered with Sony Entertainment to bring the company’s Access Glasses to “practically all” of its digital theaters in the US (that includes the vast majority of its 500+ theaters and more than 4,700 screens in all). Those glasses work with both 2D and 3D movies (the latter courtesy of a clip-on filter), and can provide closed-captioned text in up to six different languages for the hearing impaired, as well as descriptive audio for the visually impaired when they’re paired with headphones. According to Regal, the glasses are already rolling out to some theaters this month, and it says they should be everywhere by the first quarter of 2013.

What crisis? Sony Music buys EMI’s back catalogue for $2.2 billion

While its parent company goes through a dramatic reinvention, Sony Music’s scraped together $ 2.2 billion to lead a consortium that’s just bought EMI’s music publishing business. While it’ll sell off the three Virgin and Famous Music labels to avoid competition concerns, the company will gain access to three million songs from artists like Frank Sinatra, Jay-Z and Adele. It won’t affect the day-to-day running of EMI’s record label, which is a separate entity, but it will make Sony the biggest music publisher in the world. It’s hard not to envisage a future in which the company’s influence in the way we buy and listen to music becomes even greater — especially given that EMI led the charge in abandoning DRM all those years ago.

So the reports have proven to be true: Sony has now officially said that it will be reducing its headcount by 10,000 people worldwide, some six percent of its workforce, as the struggling electronics giant reorganizes under new management and its new “One Sony” plan.
Sony says the employee reductions will be made over the course of this fiscal year, and will also include some employees leaving the company through sale and transfer. Meanwhile, the organizational restructuring will see Sony strengthen its focus on the core units of digital imaging, gaming and mobile; attempt to turn around its ailing TV business and expand in emerging markets. Altogether Sony estimates that the restructuring will cost it ¥75 billion ($ 926 million).

Kaz Hirai reveals ‘One Sony’ turnaround strategy, will cut 10,000 jobs
Posted by Gsurface
on April 12, 2012
No comments
Freshly minted Sony CEO Kaz Hirai has revealed his plan to turn around Sony’s fortunes and as rumored, it includes significant cuts. Two days ago, the company revised its projections for the 2011 fiscal year to reflect a $ 6.4 billion loss. The One Sony plan includes reducing headcount by 10,000 in the 2012 financial year, including jobs that will leave Sony as businesses are sold or otherwise reorganized. Currently, the plan is to focus on digital imaging, gaming and mobile for growth, until those three make up 70 percent of its total sales in 2014. As far as its beleaguered HDTV business, it’s going forward with the plans announced during CES to streamline the product line, reduce its costs, and return to profitability by 2014. Looking forward, there’s slightly fuzzier promises to “develop and commercialize” OLED and Crystal LED technology. Beyond those the idea is to expand in emerging markets, as well as medical and 4K related technologies. There’s more details in the press release after the break and presentation slides linked below, we’ll let you know if there’s any more information revealed on a conference call later on today.

Sony to cut 10,000 jobs and slash bonuses, says Japanese newspaper
Posted by Gsurface

There have been some major adjustments at Sony HQ already, but Japanese business sheet Nikkei reckons they’re nothing compared to what’s on the horizon. It reports that, come an announcement on April 12th, Kaz Hirai will reveal plans to clear out 10,000 jobs by the end of this year — that’s six percent of his workforce. The paper also says that seven execs, including chairman Howard Stringer, could be asked to forgo their bonuses, as the company concedes a $ 3.2 billion loss for 2011. It’s a just a single report and it’s entirely possible that none of this will happen, but merely the hint of such austerity could perhaps serve Hirai’s interests, even if he ends up being less drastic when Thursday comes around.

Sony outs Xperia Play ICS beta for unlocked phones, wants to know which games work
Posted by Gsurface
on March 30, 2012
No comments
While the promised Sony Xperia Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade rollout is quickly running out of March and into April for all models, the company has just unleashed a new beta version of the upgrade for Xperia Play owners. Following the alpha release in December and a beta update in February for the Arc S, Neo V and Ray, Sony has pushed this version for the Play to find out which games may need some work to be compatible with Android 4.0. The usual drawbacks remain however, so because this release requires unlocking your bootloader — which will keep users from upgrading to the final ICS update when it comes out — and it lacks such creature comforts as Google Mobile Services apps (Gmail, Google Maps, Face Unlock) it’s intended for developers only. If your gamepad-equipped handset is staying official-upgrade only, you can safely check out a video of the beta ROM running on an Arc S embedded after the break and take this as a heads up that the final release is that much closer.

For now it’s known as the VCC111 (probably shorthand for “Vaio Chromebook Computer, series one, 11-inch display”), according to documents and pictures from FCC testing.
The understated look continues with these Vaio Chromebooks, even as far as what appears to be a matte black unbranded shell. A white version is also shown in the test setup photos. But the most interesting thing is the processor, which is listed simply as T25, and may in fact be Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chip by that name. An ARM laptop?

If you’re looking to benchmark tools for hints at Sony’s next slate, then you’re looking at a little number that calls itself the V150. According to the NenaMark Android GPU benchmarking tool, this 1.4GHz tablet rocks a 1280 x 752 display and Android 4.0.3. An Nvidia Tegra 3 helps this slate achieve a benchmark score of 59.70, which is well above the Tablet S’ 42.89 average. Considering that Sony’s last wedge-shaped wonder has already seen a sizable price drop, it’s looking like the firm may be gearing up to announce its replacement. We’re reluctant to make the call with only a single benchmark score to go by, but we won’t stop you from speculating.
