However, in spite of Asia director Tetsuhiko Yasuda assertion, the company disappointed attendees who were eager to see working machines and displayed only mock-up consoles. Sony still expects to demonstrate real videogames at the E3 expo (May 9-12) in Los Angeles. The PS3 will feature a multicore Cell chip, XDR memory, optional hard drive, keyboard and mouse.

A Samsung subsidiary has developed a fuel cell prototype capable of powering portable multimedia players for four hours. However, the technology, which uses methanol cartridges, will not be commercially available before 2007 or 2008.

Alliance try to simplify HD networks
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: December 15, 2005 - 10:03 AM PST
Category: CE
More Info: http://www.hanaalliance.org
Six companies have formed an alliance to propose design guidelines for high-definition audio and video networks. The High Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) initially comprises Charter Communications, JVC, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, NBC Universal, Samsung and Sun Microsystems. ARM, Freescale Semiconductor and Pulse-Link have joined as contributing members. HANA members plan to create guidelines that would enable TVs, digital recorders and storage devices to connect via a single IEEE 1394 cable capable of transmitting multiple high-definition data streams. The alliance will also develop the idea of a single remote control for all devices. Technologies, however, are not expected to be implemented before 2007.
