Sony Mobile to get a new CEO, Kunimasa Suzuki
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony
Bert Nordberg, who has been the CEO of Sony Ericsson (now Sony Mobile) since the summer of 2009, is going to lose his job on May 16th. His successor will be Kunimasa Suzuki (pictured above, left). According to BusinessWeek, Suzuki has been with Sony since 1984 and has spent the last decade of his career overseeing the company’s VIAO computer division. Other than that, we really don’t know anything about this dude. We will say this however, it’s telling that the head of Sony Mobile will now be a Japanese guy as opposed to a Swedish guy. This makes sense when you think about Sony’s new strategy. They want to make mobile a huge part of their business, rightfully so, and this move clearly demons...

Game Developers Diss Wii U's Graphics System, Prefer PS3 and Xbox 360
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyMicrosoftNintendoXbox 360 SPlaystation 3 SlimWii U
Barring any last minute surprises, Nintendo will be the first of the big three console makers to come out with a next generation living room game system. It's the Wii U, and it will ship with HD graphics support, a funky new tablet controller, and updated guts that, in theory, should have developers excited. It is, after all, a new toy to play with. So why are a handful of developers dissing the Wii U?
It's the subpar graphics, or at least that's what developers supposedly familiar with the hardware told GamesIndustry International. The developers, who wish to remain anonymous, said the Wii U is "just not as powerful" as the PS3 or Xbox 360, a pair of consoles that have been around the bloc...

Sony HXR-NX30 camcorder: built-in projector, 96GB storage for $2,500 (video)
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamcordersSonyHXR-NX30E
Don't worry, lone gunslingers, today isn't just about the NEX-FS700. Sony's pro range has also been bolstered with the HXR-NX30 for videographers who need to travel light. This model sacrifices interchangeable lenses in favor of a palm-friendly form factor with a 26mm-260mm (35mm equivalent) Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T fixed lens. The camera sports Sony's 'Balanced Optical SteadyShot' technology, which means both the lens and the sensor assembly are floated as a single element to minimize camera shake. Unlike that of the larger NEX-VG20, the HXR-NX30's sensor is shrunken too: it's an Exmor R CMOS that's only slightly larger than 1/3-inch. The North American NX30U variant handles 1920 x 1080 at...

Sony entering commercial OLED TV partnership with AU Optronics?
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSony
Sony has been quiet on the OLED TV front since withdrawing its 11-inch XEL-1 from the market a couple of years ago, and while Samsung and LG showed off 55-inch OLED sets at CES this year Sony only brought its Crystal LED prototype. However, the company has always said that it was continuing development of OLED technology, and if reports coming out of Korea are to be believed its re-entry into the market may not be far off. ET News cites sources with information that Sony has sent engineers to an AU Optronics (AUO) factory in Taiwan in order to collaborate on commercial OLED development. The partnership is reportedly operating out of AUO's sixth-generation plant, which is designed to produce ...

Sony hopes to compete with services like Dropbox and Amazon Cloud Drive.
The company has announced that it will launch a new service called PlayMemories Online, which will give users 5 GB of storage for uploading images and videos.
Those media files can then be accessed, and edited, on the PS3, as well as smartphones, tablets, digital photo frames, or the recently released Playstation Vita.
It's the latest push by Sony in two efforts - first, it's in an ever intensifying arms race with the Xbox 360 as the two consoles compete to see who can be the best multimedia platform.
