Sony: eReaders To Be A Breakout Success this Holiday Season

Sony Reader tops list of 10 Holiday Gift Ideas

In time for holiday shopping, Sony Canada today unveiled 10 innovative and stylish gift ideas with a range of prices and features. Topping the list are the new Sony Reader digital book models. According to an independent report from Forrester Research, eReaders will be one category that’s a breakout success this holiday season.

Sony’s Pocket Edition™ Reader and Touch Edition™ Reader Digital Books

Take up to 350 of your favorite books to go with the Pocket Edition™ Reader and Touch Edition™ Reader digital books.   A Sony Reader is small enough to slip into a purse or jacket pocket, and features an E-Ink® paper-like screen technology for easy reading. Access books from a wide number of online bookstores. http://j.mp/58DhVD

“I’m attached to my Sony Reader and won’t leave home without it. The digital reader has no rivals when it comes to portability and flexibility.”
- Ellen Roseman, Toronto Star columnist, as written in Writer’s Union magazine


Sony’s VAIO® L Touch HD PC/TV  

VAIO notebooks have become synonymous with style. New on the scene is the L series with touchscreen operation that’s both a PC and HDTV.” ($1,699.99)

“This sleek system, both a computer and a television, is perfect for the bedroom or kitchen. With 1080p resolution and Blu-ray Disc player, the VAIO® L delivers crisp, high-definition viewing at the touch of the screen.”
- Blaine Kyllo, technology columnist


Sony's A500 a™ Digital SLR Camera with DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM Lens

With Quick AF Live View and the new in-camera auto High Dynamic Range feature for capturing highlights and shadows. The feature handles high-contrast scenes like looking out a window into bright daylight, and allows for shooting two photos at different exposure levels. Within 2 seconds, the BIONZ processor combines the two shots into a single image with maximum highlight and shadow detail.  ($899.99)

“The A500 would be a fine choice for DSLR novices thanks to the many digicam-style features, but the great versatility and advanced functions make it just as suitable for photo enthusiasts”

- Photographer and journalist, Peter K. Burian

DemoCamp2019 - Designs and Demos from the year 2019

http://liftconference.com/lift-at-home/events/2009/11/17/lift-toronto

Our presenters have a fairly open ended but challenging design brief. We’ve tasked them with imagining a future state of the world, to make a bet on what might happen to the earth, technology, society in the next decade, and then present to you what will be the killer demo in the year 2019. So unlike normal demos, we don’t want to see working code. We want to see stuff that would be impossible or hopelessly impractical today, but could be the killer app in just a decade more.
