Sony Stop Making OLED TV’s – Will Still Sell Them to Westerners

by Jay Garrett on February 16, 2010

Were you thinking that the televisual future was in the hands of OLED screens?

Sony thinks not and is halting its OLED TV production in Japan and will be ending sales once its existing stock runs out.

Sales will continue, however, in America and Europe.

Apparently the Sony XEL-1 11in OLED TV just wasn’t popular enough in Japan even with a monthly production capacity of just 2000 units.

Sony spokesperson, Shinji Obana, said: “We see the demand for the model has run its course in Japan but we will continue sales overseas and research and development activities in OLED.”

So, is it that Europeans and Americans are more easily pleased or more susceptible to the pull of new tech?

Have Sony got something bigger, better and brighter hidden up their sleeves?

Could the goggleboxes future be shaped by things like the CellTV?

Let me know below :)

iPhone 4G – OLED Screen, Dual-Core Processor, Video Chat and Other Rumours

by Jay Garrett on January 13, 2010

This going to be a regular feature on the run-up to the 27th and, hopefully, some big Appley announcements.

Latest from the rumour-mill is that the next gen iPhone will be sporting an OLED screen and a have removable battery just like the new gPhone, Nexus One.

There’s rumblings that iPhone 4G could have a front-facing camera for vid-chat, a dual-core processor and a flash-equipped 5MP camera.

The favourite due-date for the new Apple handheld is June but any Spring/Summer month seems to have been whispered. History dictates that June is most likely.

The important yet quite minor tweaks seen between 3G and 3GS leads me to believe that something meatier is going to appear for the 4G.

Personally, I’m hoping for all the above wrapped in an aluminium uni-body :)
