Sony Corporation Annual Report 2001

Sony Corporation Annual Report 2001
29
This new Digital Handycam
camcorder introduced during the
year has a 1.55-million pixel CCD
for even better picture quality.
Packaging materials made of 100%
recycled magazine paper and main
solders that are lead-free are
among many environmentally
sensitive measures that Sony has
incorporated into it.
Able to operate nonstop for up to
3 hours or take up to 3,000
photos, this Cybershot digital still
camera delivers high picture
quality, featuring a 3.34-million
pixel CCD and a 3x Carl Zeiss
optical zoom lens.
Functioning as a mobile phone and music
player, these handsets have slots for
MagicGate Memory Stick IC media, which
incorporate copyright protection technology.
(from the right) During the year, Sony
launched such mobile phones for the PDC-
standard i-mode service of NTT DoCoMo,
Inc. and for the cdmaOne-standard EZweb
service of KDDI Corporation. In Europe,
Sony expects to begin selling such GSM
phones compatible with WAP services during
the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002.
While listening to the radio or
watching television, a particular song
or commercial can be bookmarked
with the eMarker service, enabling
subsequent searches using a PC. The
eMarker service also allows users to
purchase a CD or other products
related to the music or commercial
bookmarked. Sony began offering this
service during the year in Japan and
the United States. Shown is the
eMarker device sold in Japan.
Clip-On is a video recorder that
uses a hard disk instead of a video
tape to make possible a new way of
enjoying TV programs. For example,
just-recorded sections of a program
can be enjoyed while the remainder
of the same show is being
recorded.
Pictured here is a stylish new VAIO
desktop PC that comes with an LCD
monitor. For added convenience, an
LCD pen tablet allows users to
input data by writing directly on
the screen with a special stylus.
Equipped with a TV tuner and video
inputs, this LCD computer display
can also function as a high-
resolution screen for enjoying
broadcasts and videos.
