The Sony NeWS workstations, a line of Unix-compatible computers designed by Sony from the ground up. At one point, they considered mandating these to licensees to use for PlayStation development, at great expense.

A laptop version of the Sony NeWS Unix workstation series. Why? Why not.

The Sony XEL-1 OLED TV. So thin that it needs a bunch of steering and signal-processing electronics in the base.

The Sony eMarker. Tumblr probably thinks this is NSFW.

A Sony portable DVD recorder; ideal for VHS transfers or just recording something you find while you're out and about.

Sony CRV Disc. You can think of it as being like a LaserDisc... that's rewriteable.

Here's a Sony Indextron. Most colour television sets use three guns for red, green, and blue to make colour images. This one only needs one, using elaborate trickery to more precisely steer the single gun into the exact coloured phosphors on the screen that it wants to light up.

Here is one pixel from a Sony Jumbotron unit. It's made up of multiple CRTs, fired on by one central gun.

Here is "Rolly," a Sony alarm clock that rolls off your dresser when it's time to wake up. Or you could get a cat.

The Sony Data Discman. Predates Minidisc; these discs would store a reference document such as a translation dictionary, mini-encyclopedia, or even novels. Handy for train reading.

Sony's XV-T33F "Family Studio Video Sketch Titler." For adding transition screens and title graphics to home movies. Probably based on MSX2 hardware.
