In response to the "if this were the 1980s" comments...

 

Remember that Sony broke out the first OLED to the general market last year. It cost a fortune, and was only 11", but as we all know, prices drop, and OLED has a huge future... especially in the portable console market.

 

I wouldn't doubt for a second if someone told me the next PSP (or DS, for that matter) used OLED, and had 848x480 resolution (or more) with brilliant OLED color, while being even slimmer and more power efficient than today's PSP/DS.

Sony had a major hand in Blu-Ray, Sony is the leader in OLED tech, those "digital books" Sony makes sell like hotcakes (I forget what they are called), Sony Bravia LCD televisions are some of the best on the market (arguably the best), the Sony PS3 is a real powerhouse console... As a company, Sony is an incredible innovator, have no doubt.

Like I said Kodak was the true developer of that technology Sony has done some cotributions but they developed OLED's about as much as Al Gore invinted the Internet.

 

 

 

Well, that being said, not many folks know that Xerox invented the mouse and modern Window GUI either. Apple gets the public credit for that. Sony gets the innovation points for further researching it and bringing it to market before the rest of the pack, just the same as Apple does with the Mac.

 

edit: the public innovation points.... I think you hear what I'm saying.
