VAIO Notebook PC
The VAIO U pictured here, with its mobile-grip design, is a new kind of PC that is
both small and light, allowing it to be carried and used anyw here and anytime. Despite
its small body, the VAIO U is filled with sophisticated functions optimal for use in the
mobile environment. Sony’s exclusive 4-way multi-controller makes operating the
notebook easy even when holding it. And a newly developed slender lithium-ion
polymer battery extends operating time while preserving the model’s slim profile.
Equipped with a w ireless LAN capability, this VAIO offers broadband connectivity
without the use of cables.
Combining beauty with high functionality, the VAIO Z pictured here is truly a portable
desktop replacement. Its comprehensive functionality matches that of desktop PCs while
pursuing the ultimate elements of a mobile PC. A high quality LCD panel ensures outstand-
ing resolution. And the processor consumes very little power, facilitating uninterrupted use
for long periods of time. Like the VAIO U, it also has an internal w ireless LAN capability.

Digital Still Camera
Sony continues to lead the industry in the rapidly expanding global digital still camera
market. Pictured here is a 5.1 effective mega pixel member of the popular Cybershot P
series. In addition to taking still photos, this model has a MPEG Movie VX mode for
recording video clips with sound that are ideal for viewing on a full size television
screen. Sony is also offering an online service called ImageStation. ImageStation
enables individuals to send photos from PCs to mobile phones along with messages.
It also provides, over the Internet, a high-resolution photo printing service.
CCD
Commonly known as “ electronic eyes,” CCDs (charge-coupled devices) are
semiconductors used for photoelectric transfers. They are used not only in digital
still cameras and video cameras, but also, and more recently, in mobile phones,
personal digital assistants and a variety of other products. Sony has the top share
of the CCD market, where growth is expected to continue, and has a technologi-
cal edge over its competitors.
