    Industry News: Samsung shifts to new TV technology with LCD spin off
    Posted by claudio on Saturday, February 25, 2012 @ 23:59:06 EST (2386 reads)
    Industry News South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co, the world's biggest maker of televisions, is shifting its focus towards new generation OLED display technology, and said it will spin off its loss-making LCD flat-screen business into an affiliate.

    The outlook for liquid crystal display TVs has dimmed as shoppers in developed markets have traded in their bulky cathode-ray tube TVs for flat screens, and competition has intensified from low-cost Chinese manufacturers.

    Industry News: Microsoft-Sony game venture in the works?
    Posted by claudio on Saturday, July 16, 2011 @ 23:55:44 EDT (3275 reads)
    Industry News Software juggernaut Microsoft hinted at a partnership with consumer electronics giant Sony after it registered this week two web domains bearing both firms' names.

    A gaming site reported Microsoft registered Microsoft-Sony.com and Sony-Microsoft.com on July 13 and 14, and speculated it could mean a joint game console.

    "The Internet is already rife with rumors as to what it could mean with a lot of people thinking that a joint console between the two companies is on the cards and let’s face it, a combined Microsoft/Sony console would be one hell of a gaming machine," reported ZoKnowsGaming.com.

    Industry News: CES 2011: The biggest winners and losers
    Posted by claudio on Sunday, January 09, 2011 @ 12:13:56 EST (3444 reads)
    Industry News The Consumer Electronics Show is the Super Bowl of the technology industry. As much as industry analysts and the tech press whine about CES being too big and being a relic of a bygone era, there’s no better place for tech companies to make a big splash that will be remembered throughout the year, and in some cases for years to come.

    It’s also the place where tech companies can jockey for a better position in the market by generating more attention for their product line than a competitor’s. Conversely, companies that don’t make a good showing at CES can risk creating an impression that they are falling behind and risk having their products get lost in the crowd.

    Industry News: Sony: Kinect technological problems are 'quite big'
    Posted by claudio on Monday, November 29, 2010 @ 17:22:13 EST (2614 reads)
    Industry News This year Sony and Microsoft each launched motion control platforms, the PS Move and Kinect for Xbox 360, respectively. There's been plenty of debate about which tech is better and understandably Sony reckons its product is the one to go for, but why? We caught up with Sony Computer Entertainment software engineer Anton Mikhailov to find out.

    "We're not necessarily against Kinect or against depth cameras, it's just we feel like Move has more applicability across more genres so it fits better with what we try to do.

    Industry News: No Joke, Apple could buy Sony or EA
    Posted by claudio on Monday, October 25, 2010 @ 12:29:34 EDT (20971 reads)
    Industry News The US stock market is alive with rumours that Apple is about to launch an unprecedented acquisition - with Sony and EA just two of gaming's mentioned targets.

    Apple has $51 billion cash to spend - and, last week, Steve Jobs hinted at where that might go.

    "We strongly believe that one or more very strategic opportunities may come along, that we can take, that we're in a unique position to take advantage of because of our strong cash position," he told investors.

    "So I think that we would like to continue to keep our powder dry because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future."

    Industry News: Cost, 3-D glasses keep would-be 3-D TV buyers in 'wait and see' mode
    Posted by claudio on Sunday, September 12, 2010 @ 10:48:31 EDT (2122 reads)
    Industry News Consumers are still holding back on the latest 3-D TV sets, according to a new report, with more than half of those surveyed saying that having to wear 3-D glasses and the cost of the sets themselves are key factors preventing purchases.

    The Nielsen survey represents a sobering reality check for 3-D TV manufacturers. The number of would-be 3-D TV consumers who initially claimed they would be "very likely" to buy a 3-D TV set dropped precipitously after they’d actually watched a little 3-D video. And the percentage of those who said they were "not at all likely" to go the 3-D way more than doubled after they took a 3-D test drive.

    The biggest concern for two-thirds of would-be 3-D TV shoppers was, unsurprisingly, price — after all, we’re still talking big, high-end flat-panel HDTVs, which aren’t exactly cheap. Exacerbating the problem, though, is the price of the powered "active-shutter" glasses you have to wear to get the 3-D effect: $150 a pair and up for most manufacturers, which makes watching "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" in 3-D a pricey proposition for a family of four.

    Industry News: Sony's competitor Microsoft Sets $149.99 Price for Kinect Game Controller
    Posted by claudio on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 @ 23:25:01 EDT (2265 reads)
    Industry News
    Microsoft has set a $149.99 price for its new controller-less Kinect video-game controller, or $299.99 with a new Xbox 360. Microsoft also promised 15 games for the Kinect when it goes on sale Nov. 4. The revolutionary Kinect uses a camera to detect body movement and is likely to challenge Nintendo's Wii and Sony's Move controller.

    Microsoft has announced pricing for Kinect, its highly anticipated, controller-less game controller -- $149.99, including a game called Kinect Adventures. When packaged with a new Xbox 360, which comes with 4GB of internal memory, the price is $299.99.
