Sony Rolly’s Pretty Neat

September 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment

One thing I’ve got to give Sony is that they almost always know their stuff when it comes to innovative hardware design. Sure, the occasional high ticket item may look more like a George Foreman grill than the harbinger of high definition gaming, but who wouldn’t want to enjoy a tasty, low-fat steak while saving the world with Solid Snake?

I just ran across a video of a new music device, called Sony Rolly, which looks pretty cool. No clue if this is something they’re actually selling or if it’s just a prototype. Either way, it’s definitely Japanese. As someone far more amusing than me said recently, “Ultra future wave Sony Rolly for beautiful human life! Non Stop Golden Dance Hour, Feel the beat!”

    That little thing looks nice :) Who knows how actually good the sound quality is.
    I wonder if i should chase that player if it doesn’t like my listening habits. :D
    I won’t buy one, tought, i don’t like buying hardware from a company like sony which has a strong lock-in policy (memorystick as the only option storage, for example), and the fact sony is the most represented member in the RIAA boards of directors (http://www.riaa.com/aboutus.php?content_selector=who_we_are_board) is a big “warning sign” for me. :)
