Holy crap, Sony came out with a bunch of new products overnight! We won’t know Aussie pricing and availability until later today, but here’s your complete look at all Sony’s new gear, including tablets, a sleek Android Walkman and the Sony Reader Wi-Fi.
Hands On: Sony’s HMZ-T1 Is an Amazing OLED 3DTV That You Wear On Your Head
Sony’s new 720p OLED 3DTV with 5.1 virtual surround has a 150-inch screen-equivalent and costs $US800. But it weighs less 500g. That’s because it’s worn on your face. Sony wouldn’t say if or when the HMZ-T1 might come to Australia. More »
Sony Tablet S Review: It’s Good To See You Again, Sony
Shaped like a folded over magazine, Sony’s Tablet S is maybe the weirdest looking tablet we’ve ever seen. But it’s also the most comfortable. Available in September starting at $579. More »
Sony Tablet P First Impressions: Is The Taco Tablet Tasty?
I really love Sony for trying something different. Between this foldable Tablet P and the company’s indescribably-shaped (but very palmable) Tablet S they are genuinely trying to leave the hardware pack mentality behind. The bad news: Sony Australia says we won’t see the P locally until next year. More »

Sony’s new AirPlay-ready, lampshade-looking SA-NS 500 portable speaker looks like it’s going to be pretty good. The SA-NS 500 has a four speaker array, a mid-range subwoofer, and gets 5-6 hours of battery life. More »
Has the Sony Reader Wi-Fi Actually Got a Shot?
Sony may have been one of the first major electronics manufacturer to bring us ebook readers, but a series of unfortunate products saw them cede the race to Kindle and Nook. More »
Sony Ericsson Reboots Xperia with Arc S, a Phone That Miiiiiiight Actually Matter
Sony is going full-tilt today, dropping more toys than a drunken toddler covered in Crisco. They’re giving the Xpreria Arc-their hallmark smartphone-an S as the end of its name, and beefing it up. More »
Sony’s Android Walkman Is Really for Music Nerds
A Walkman’s not just for music anymore. The forthcoming Sony Android Walkman will give people access to apps-finally!-but true to the Walkman’s legacy Sony’s built the new version around it’s music features. More »
Sony’s 3D Binoculars Shoot High-Def 3D Video, 7.1MP Photos
Well, maybe crims can afford to whack $2000 down on a pair of digital binoculars this November, if they know the pay-offs going to be good. The Dev-3 and Dev-5 models shoot 7.1-megapixel photos and 3D video. More »
