That is so weird indeed.How bizarre of Sony to bail out of consumer OLED when LG and Samsung are just about to unveil their sets. Weird.
Warner will apparently be making an annoucment about new plans for high resolution music at CES. The article is a couple months old, so I hope this is still true.

Quite so! Looks okay.Has no one mentioned the Vizio desktop and laptops? Looks like the first company that can truly copy Apple in the design department.

Silver painted plastic.
Looks like they've been taking design cues from HP.
It looks like they tried to be as minimalist as possible.Quite so! Looks okay.
Finally, it is an embarrassment that SE still only has smartphones with 2010 (or worse) specs.
Ugh, looks too much like the SGII. Was hoping it would continue the design of the Arc, still the best looking smarthpone
Having to wait 6 months to get an OS update is great.Really sexy. If I was in the market for an Android phone, I'd get that one. Always liked the Xperia phones.

By mimicking exactly what they are doing? Um, no thanks. That is not an original design in any aspect - it is a glorified collection of apple abortions, changed enough to be different. The only reason it is appealing is because it looks like an iMac.
i guess apple invented the light weight minimalist design.
and the hardware
http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/8/2692223/sonys-next-generation-google-tv-remote-control-at-ces-2012Now we've received images of what appears to be the company's second generation remote control sitting to the right of its older nemesis. If you look closely enough you'll notice a full QWERTY on one side of the slimmed down remote, and what looks like a touchpad and d-pad control for remote mousing during your Google TV lean-back. The fact that we can visually identify these features is already an improvement over the original.
Quite so! Looks okay.
How on earth does that look like an iMac? Just because it's silver and minimalistic?
I don't think the PC itself is particularly iMac like, colour scheme aside, but the keyboard and trackpad are obviously direct rips.
I will have nightmares for weeks.

C'mon. The IMac is the best selling all-in-one in the world - you really think they dont sit around in meetings trying to figure out the closest way to get a piece of that pie without upsetting Apple's legal team.
The latest innovation from Roku CEO Anthony Wood and his squad? After reducing the size of its players to a mere hockey puck, it has now managed to fit all the necessary hardware into this tiny dongle, that plugs into the HDMI port of MHL-compatible HDTVs. Mobile High-Definition Link ports, were intended for users to hook up their mobile phones simply for control and charging all-in-one, but also powers this unit which packs WiFi and all into one tiny package and can even be controlled by the TV's remote. Now, HDTV manufacturers can build TVs that function as dumb displays without it, but become smart TVs featuring the Roku experience we've become accustomed to just by plugging one in. The other benefit? No more obsolete smart TV hardware when the updates stop flowing. While Roku has a decent track record in this regard, if you ever need a more powerful unit, it's a lot simpler to swap out a simple dongle (expect a good/better/best pattern for functions like gaming, etc., following the player line) to add features than changing an entire HDTV.
Best Buy's Insignia-branded line is the first scheduled to take advantage with pack-ins when the stick debuts in the second half of the year, although it will work with TVs from other manufacturers (Samsung, Toshiba, etc.) that meet the spec, but we don't figure the big boys will be willing to sacrifice their existing smart TV platforms very quickly. We're told the price (it will be available both as a standalone and pack-in) should be in a similar range to current Roku players, which the company also announced it has shipped 2.5 million of to date. Check after the break for the press release and pics showing how it fits in an HDTV.
Don't know about the galaxy, but I expect we'll see a number of glasses-free prototypes and a few products that will actually hit this year. Toshiba has a 4K model that's near production and will hit in 2012.whats the word on glasses free 3DTVs and the Galaxy S3?
What?
