The Finnish cell phone giant is determined to kick its way into the content market.

Fans of the newly announced $199 iPhone will soon be able to get it... for $599. Huh? According to a report on Reuters today, U.S. consumers who want the new iPhone but cannot or do not want to sign up for a new two-year contract with AT&T Inc will eventually be able to buy it for an extra $400... sort of. Maybe. Kind of.

If you go to the Pioneer website and look up Kuro, they talk about one thing - black levels. Pioneer has recently announced that Kuro LCDs will begin shipping in the UK in August with a US release expected to follow. They are starting off with the 32-inch KRL-32V, 37-inch KRL-37V and 46-inch KRL-46V. The 32 and 37 inch displays will be shipping in August though the 46's shipping date has not been announced. We knew that Pioneer was phasing out their plasmas and starting to source LCDs from Sharp, but we didn't know they'd continue the Kuro line.

News: Hancock's Proprietary Download Experiment with Sony Bravia

by Clint DeBoer — last modified June 30, 2008 05:44
We've been sounding the death knell of traditional disc-based media for some time, but Sony Pictures seems to truly be ushering it along - at least in an experimental trial fashion. This week's blockbuster-in-waiting, Hancock, will be hitting the silver screen... soon to be followed by downloads - at least if you own a Web-ready Sony Bravia TV. That's right, after its theater run - but before it gets releases to DVD & Blu-ray, owners of Sony Bravia TVs (with integrated Internet connections) can download the movie over the Internet.

Rhapsody, an online subscription music company-turned MP3-download service, is spending $50 million in marketing to take on #1 retailer iTunes, offering DRM-free songs online and working with such partners as Yahoo Inc and Verizon Wireless. Since Rhapsody will sell its songs in the MP3 format, iPod users will now have a choice of where to purchase music. Rhapsody is hoping iPod users will opt for a DRM-free choice.
News: OLED in the News

Recently there has been a flurry of activity centered around OLED, not the least of which were rumors that Matsushita (Panasonic) was attempting to mass produce the technology (for cheap) as early as 2011. On the heels of that round of news, Samsung SDI (the Korean-based display manufacturing company) announced it would boost OLED production levels six-fold by mid-2009. To do this, they have committed to spending over half a billion dollars ($529 million to be more precise).
News: Sony loses $3.3 Billion, Xbox Price Drop Imminent?

While Sony has lost an estimated $3.3 billion on its PS3 console sales, that isn't all that surprising. Consoles routinely lose money at the beginning of their life. Software sales and eventual reduction in production costs are supposed to make up for it. But with Sony's Chief Executive Howard Stringer promising not to lose money this year on the PS3, the stage seems set for an Xbox 360 price drop. But will they when Microsoft has lost around a billion dollars (and counting) on the "Red Ring of Death" fiasco?
News: Sony's New ES Receivers - STR-DA4400ES Tops Line... So Far

by Wayde Robson — last modified June 27, 2008 09:28
Sony’s new ES line of receivers may bring to mind the words of the Who’s Pete Townsend: Meet the new boss – same as the old boss. The company’s new ES line of audio/video receivers looks suspiciously like last year’s new ES line of audio/video receivers with a slight rearrangement in features to price points.

As an age old battle, as old as the dawn of radio and the phonograph, between the RIAA and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) over royalty payments heats up with a pending bill in Congress, a music industry group, musicFIRST, that was instigated by the RIAA, has begun doing silly things in public like calling radio just another form of piracy.
