The currently available BRAVIA Z series ethernet port allows for viewing photos using a DLNA network. So you could stream photos from your computer directly to the TV. The upcoming XBR9 and Z series will allow photos, music, and video streaming. There will also be BRAVIA Internet Video and Internet Widgets functionality built in.

Thank you for the review, I would be interested in photos. Sony has seemed to neglect the Walkmans with accessories lately. I hope this will soon be changing.

According to http://musicstore.connect.com/ the servers will still be running "through the end of 2008." I see there is also a link to download SonicStage on that page.

I'm using it, I like it a lot except for the fact that some websites are not working correctly or at all. I'm having to keep another browser on my computer for now as backup.

That's a cool dock. Looks like it's another Sony product that's only available in Japan. I did a quick search and it looks like you can actually buy it there. (Not that that's helpful)

I'm concerned about how much this would affect battery life. As long as I can turn it completely off, I guess it's ok. Personally, I'm more interested in features that would make these practical for use with textbooks/research, such as the ability to search for keywords, go directly to the pages that contain them, the ability to highlight text, etc.

From watching the IFA press conference, I would say it's very likely the next version of the Sony Reader will be network enabled. I know this was already rumored, but seems even more obvious now.

I would guess it will be similar to the PSP Media Manager: "The software automatically converts your files to high-quality Sony AVC/AAC video for optimized viewing on your PSP® system." http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/produc...uct.asp?PID=423

Yes, DRM'ed ATRAC works with PS3. However, using the "Remote Play" feature to stream audio to my PSP does not work with my DRM'ed ATRAC files.

Yes, I have XP SP2 and SS CP 4.0 and just installed IE7. SonicStage CP is still working fine for me.

I think dvr-ms is the file format used by Windows Media Center when you record.

Good photos, that's what I was wanting to see, the size compared to a remote.

The game I currently play the most is Virtua Tennis: World Tour. I think it's really good for when you don't have very long to play. I also love Twisted Metal: Head-On (infrastructure) and X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse (solo and co-op with a friend). I've thoroughly enjoyed playing my demo disc and beta disc of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror. I'm looking forward to buying this when it comes out. I also like the demo disc of Daxter, a very good platformer with some interesting extra modes. Oh yeah, WipEout Pure is awesome too, like others have already said... Other PSP games I have and like: Namco Museum Battle Collection Pinball Hall of Fame... I'm not a pinball expert, but I think it's a fun game Star Wars: Battlefront II... it's ok, except I was disappointed with the limited co-op modes How is Exit? I thought it looked really cool, but then IGN's review was disappointing.

Here's a comparison table of Connect Player 1.0 to SonicStage 3.3. http://support.sony-europe.com/DNA/hotnews...n&f=ConSon_comp

I flew Alitalia a few weeks ago and just used my PSP to listen to music, so it was only reading from the Memory Stick, and it was in my pocket I think, so noone said anything. Then I flew Delta and watched a movie on UMD and played games and nobody said anything about it.

I'm not sure, but I found this page on the Connect help page.

Actually, CMOS can have very high image quality, here's an example of a CMOS from Sony: here But yeah the quality of CMOS in most camera phones so far has been very low.

Yeah, they have already released the firmware update for the VAIO Pocket VGF-AP1L and the Sony website currently says: "A firmware upgrade will be available for NW-HD1 devices to support ‘native’ MP3 files. Please check back soon for further information about this upgrade."

v 1.1 (NW-E75, NW-E95, NW-S23) http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-download...25&PASSVAL2=SMB v 1.2 (NW-E99) http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-download...27&PASSVAL2=SMB The MP3 File Manager software came preinstalled on the NW-S23 that I got for my mom, it works well, easy to use.

I have SonicStage 2.0 and downloaded Total Recorder to test this... I was able to play from SonicStage and record directly to mp3. The Accelerated Recording mode wasn't picking up the audio signal though, so I had to do it in real time. This is a good way of converting ATRAC3 to mp3, PCM, WMA9, etc.
