TVs are the same design as last year, even the interface is the same. Yes there is a super thin top model that will cost around 5000 for a 65"... Well, the picture above sums it all up rather well.

What were you saying ebato?
Running Android TV, Playstation NOW and integrating the new XR1 chipset (which is basically the X-Reality for 4k content).
Hi guys! It has been a LOT since my last post here on ESATO
Happy new Year to everyone here! I'm leaving with my Z2 from a year or so and couldn't be more happy with it! but I'm still looking for the next Z4 (especially the tablet)
I admit it wasn't a superexciting conference! but c'mon it was very good!
Except for the TV the announced a new ActionCAM with 4k capability, a new Handycam with 4k capability!
Tony Hawk wass on stage and tested the 4K Action Cam

http://community.sony.co.uk/t[....]cts-4k-action-cam/ba-p/1862265
New walkman ZX2 (a vwery niche product) capable of streaming Hi Res audio through your home with the wifi, and a new line of home theaters, speakers, sounbar and so on with this Hi Res multiroom streaming capability
New series of blu ray player (not liking them)
http://community.sony.co.uk/t[....]es-products-audio/ba-p/1862268
But the thing I'm more excited/interested is surely the LifeSpace UX concept, which I wwas happy to hear they are still working on! I love that Ultra HD short range projector and all the other type of screen/light/soundlight and so on they are working on and developing
Sorry Guys I know this is not the right thread for all this
the only news for Xperia is that Next Month they'll roll out Lollipop 5.0 to all the Z-series
and Lollipop 5.1 during July!

^ First, thank you for the recap!
RANT: Imo nothing really overwhelming shown by Sony. An (overpriced) ZX1 successor with lovely hardware but running with old software, a crazy slim TV where I don't get the point why a TV should be that thin (any benefit? pocket-friendly?!), "4k" cams with 3840p and not ciematic 4k with 4096p and just 24p and not 50p. But I still I love you Sony.

It is not the price or android version that is bugging me on the ZX2, since the player is designed to only play music really and the price, well audiophiles will pay for it, and I doubt the device will sell in large numbers, it is a niche device after all. The biggest problem is the tech inside, it is just a rehashed ZX1, the screen is identical and I have a feeling so is the CPU, which should be the old OMAP4, this is why only android 4.2 is supported and not lollipop. I don't think there are official drivers from texas instruments for kitkat, I could be mistaken. I believe ver 4.3 is the highest for OMAP4.
I was surprised to see the ZX2 on the sony poland site, at over 5000zl, I doubt many people will buy it here.
I am puzzled why Sony has decided against releasing the rest of the XBA headphone lineup in europe and elsewhere. I will have to import them from Japan or Hong kong now.
Weak show by Sony as well, guess IFA is the better show with CES sometimes being geared towards the US market place.

Ehy you are running the walkman blog don't you?
but anyway you are right! this is just a revamped ZX1, nothing more... it's shiny and all and they are releasing it in all country... I'll just buy the NWZ-A17 as soon as I can and I'll be happy with it... Do you have more impressions on that?

It's a great player especially the 64GB version vs the 16GB which I have but I have yet to hit a limit on my storage since I haven't uploaded all my songs onto it. It's battery lasts for days and I sometimes forget to charge it and it still goes on forever. Sound quality is great, and I am hoping to pick up some better headphones soon for it, but it has a hard time driving larger headphones like my MDR-10BTs. But if I don't grab the XBA's, I may do something stupid and just grab the MDR-1ADACs, and since they have a built in DAC, the player can work with them with no problems.
Yes I run the blog.

As a current owner of the ZX1, I really do not feel I have a need to update to ZX2. I doubt anyone with a ZX1 will want to go wireless either, so the only reason for upgrade is because of the microSD expandibility? I would have thought that they will also announce something like a PHA-4 with some crazy spec that no one will ever need, then I can get myself a PHA-3 for a resonable price
Anyway, looking forward to the next announcement before MWC.
