Some great stuff from Sony

Sony chief executive Howard Stringer has declared that the electronics industry must continue to innovate despite the economic downturn... and then showed he is prepared to back up his words with actions. Stringer used his address at CES to unveil a series of prototype products from the boffins at Sony (thanks to this Smart Company article):

- A pair of eye glasses with tiny video screens that are able to show full length movies

- A bendable video screen and a Wi-Fi camera that allows the user to download pictures and video straight to a computer without the use of a connecting cable

And then there was this just before Christmas thanks to engadget:

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 launches: world's first WiFi camera with web browser

The planet's first WiFi camera with a built-in web browser, enabling users to upload images and video directly to popular sharing sites wherever a WiFi connection is available. Of note, the camera comes with complimentary access to Sony's Easy Upload Home Page via AT&T WiFi, which provides easy entrance into Shutterfly, Picasa, YouTube, Photobucket and Dailymotion. Other specs include a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom and Face Detection. It's yours to grab right now for around $500.
