Wow - they still sell cassette-tape players?
This new Sony model looks pleasant enough in a retro way, but where do you even get tapes these days?

Nothing out of the ordinary there, but the stand might appeal to a few retro holdout fans of the rat.

Processing 3D video? Sony's Cell-based rig can be yours for ¥2.6mill!
The MPE-200 multimedia processor goes on sale next week for an actually quite reasonable ¥2,625,000 ($30,000), considering what it offers. Bet James Cameron paid a bit more than that for his.
That linked press release below is in Japanese, but click here for a rough and ready MT if you're feeling lazy - it covers the basics at least.
And if I was still a 'proper' journalist working for The Man, I'd be required to mention here that the MPE-200 uses the same Cell Broadband Engine processor as found in the PlayStation 3, possibly putting (PS3) in brackets too just to clarify for the hard of thinking, but I've packed that in for the PR life of Riley, so I won't bother. You can work it out for yourselves, right? :-)

Sony confirms end of line for XEL-1 OLED TV
After press reports suggesting sales in Japan would be ending, Sony today confirmed it won't be carrying on with the groundbreaking XEL-1 OLED TV set.
While the high price (¥200,000) and tiny screen (11 inches) meant it was never likely to sell much, the XEL-1 was the first in its class. There's no word yet on whether this means an end to OLED work at Sony or if it just prepares the ground for bigger, more affordable models.
