Exactly 25 years ago, the world witness a new storage format, it is the change from analog to digital format that spark a new revolution. Jointly develop by Sony and Philips, the compact disc is still one of the most popular storage format due to its relatively cheap price. Currently we’re into the 3rd generation, the HD-DVD by Toshiba and Blue-Ray by Sony.

The CD was jointly developed by Philips and Sony and the disc has also become a key storage method for computer users.

If you happen to own a Sony DSC-T5 camera, take note that Sony Electronics has issued a global recall for the Cyber-shot DSC-T5 digital cameras. The defects on the camera is due to the bottom plate of the camera that could potentially scratch or cut the users’ hands.
Sony is offering a free replacement of the casing for effected models and the best part is Sony is paying for the shipping fees.

Nintendo’s Wii Thrashing Playstation 3
Small is beautiful, the less powerful Nintendo Wii outsold the mighty Sony Playstation3 by more than five consoles to one in Japan and in the US the figure is about 4 -1, putting Sony’s mighty graphic processing power to shame.
Some of the possible reason are:
- Lack of games
- The high price
But then again, these consoles are only into their first year cycle and more to more, remember that Nintendo’s Wii is going after a totally different market, where else Sony Playstation 3 is for the grown ups.

PSP Playstation Portable 2
Rumors has it that Sony will launch a new Playstation Portable, Sony was reluctant to give up any more info on the specification, possibly they are going to use PSP again as a Trojan horse to compete with ipod and Nintendo. The new design reminds me of Xbox controller.

Dell Axim Family RIP 2002 - 2007
It is official now that Dell is ending their production for Dell Axim PDA’s, leaving only Palm, HP and other smaller Taiwan companies producing PDAs for the world, even Sony back out from the PDA market with their high end Clie model few years ago citing lack of interest in consumer and the rise of PDA phones. I have a Dell Axim X51v and I believe it is one of the best PDA in the market in term of price over performance, they did a great job by offering great performance with graphic acceleration processor and a QVGA screen which enhance the reading ability of the tiny text fonts.
That is the bad news but for the good news, rumors has it that Dell is teaming up with a Quanta to produce a Dell PDA phones, which is a good move considering the fact that PDA phones would be in great demand in another 6 months time with the launch of Apple iPhone. Quanta is a Taiwanese company which produces products like notebooks and handhelds for other brands. Some of its customers include HP and O2.

PS3 Folding@Home For Cancer
I hate to admit this but lately my perception on Sony seems to go down hill, possibly due to it’s own act of anguish and fear of change, but then like all bad publicity that Sony had for the past few months from exploding battery to root kit that causes Windows to crash, for once Sony has done something right, could this be the turning point where after all these years of mismanagement Sony is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?
Folding@home program for Playstation 3 is indeed a good idea, with all those processing power the Playstation posses, it could change the way we look at science and possibly cure some of the well known diseases. So, what I say is don’t go grabbing a Playstation on purpose but if you happen to have one, simply download the program and let it run when you grab a snack or something during gaming hours.
Sony has confirmed that owners of Internet-connected ARM powered PlayStation 3 (PS3) systems will be able to connect to Stanford University’s Folding@home program, a distributed computing project which is looking to better understand protein folding and its relationship with several debilitating diseases, including canser, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

And the winner is - Sony’s Blue-ray.
Self praise is no praise. According to Sony, Blue-ray is the obvious winner when it comes to the format war, mainly due to the popularity of Playstation 3. Reportedly two Blu-ray Discs were sold for every one HD DVD last month, these numbers does not matter and when it comes to pricing, HD-DVD beats Sony flat. HD-DVD is cheaper to produce and to buy as well and with the entry of Chinese manufacture next month for HD-DVD, this would likely change the overall competition. Nobody is the winner yet.
