We have taken just our unworthy eyes to the new Sony Internet TV, powered by Google TV (boy is that a mouthful) and it looks exactly the right kind of modern. We have to play a quick chance with the remote control and it definitely appeals to the nerd in uns--keep nice and use, although the optical mouse pad in the upper right corner was pretty shaky on the we tried units. (Sony chalk it up to RF interference, but we need to investigate further.) We will update you with some video so stay tuned!
Update: The video is up. Plus we have some thoughts for you double your pleasure: it's interesting how the user interface between the different TV sizes skaliert-- which sees search bar funny big on the larger TV sizes and just about right onto the medium sizes.While don't have to switch inputs, such as Sony and Google are so proud to say that there would be a clear resolution switch which app UI durchmacht-TV between live TV and the Google TV - 1080i, 720 p our guess.Something could be a real problem for Google TV is the lack of UI consistency. You are dealing with your DVR's UI, the Google search app maybe of TV search and record experience, the chrome browsing experience, and then independent user interface of a certain media (all the ones we were tempted considerably). You can also search, your recorded shows Google TV interface or your own DVRS from the UI that could among other overlapping functions as confusing if it not convenient.The image-in-picture feature, which is a simple right click is on the right d-pad to be likely a well worn option for TV users-while a show going live, something look up in the browser or in an app bread sort of this computer and butter is, and it's pretty easy to werden.der Sony keyboard feels remotely nicely in your hand, but it's pretty intuitive. Although of course position two thumbs up to the controls, thou shalt not, to use you at the same time - you can either under your right arrow the UI with the left thumb or control of the mouse with finicky optical pad.The two things on the right button are completely separated so that you use the arrows and accidentally click End Select, what always under the mouse pointer and one other way is totally geht.Es strange, especially since it's supposed to feel like a PS3 controller-a controller that typically used the two thumb controls together very effectively.Oh, and there are a million tiny buttons for everything all in any configuration make a ton of sense and some of them just total are mysterious - there no way you are going to get to do what the stars and fn keys right off the bat.

back at Mobile World Congress in February, the mobile UI gurus to TAT showed their interpretation of a dual screen telephone interface by TI power plant OMAP4 testbed. Seemed a little pie-in-the-sky at the time, but frankly, the concept seems device is displayed by Fujtisu at CEATEC this week - created involving the TAT's arises. - practically ready for production. Or the hardware have anyway; it was Spartan in use comparison to call a few important cases where two huge, glorious 960 x 480 right next to each other in handy shows having come could obviously designed. We were shown, browser and email list scroll over both zeigt-- boring, if not offensichtlich-- but what really our became interested, have a cool photo sharing with you spinning photos you from a catalog on the bottom panel to a list of contacts on the top one - very TAT to share when we say us. Both displays can between high- and create landscape, a beautiful medium clamshell or a gigantic flip, no unusual form among Japanese phones be turned. In fact because the form factor, the completely Japanese interface and Fujitsu's history, we are sure this was completely would be with the Japan domestic market in the Verstand-- and we do not at all surprised it show up in a retail capacity it within a year or so to see. Follow the break for video.
sharp 5.5 and 10, 8 inch Galapagos are to desire something. Sharp got the Android-powered e-tablets of reading strongly on display here at CEATEC, which of course means we us jumped at the chance to try it. The interface is a bit slow as pinch-to-zoom in the browser. That said pages displayed in full (as our favourite Engadget) and examples were crispy like supplied magazine (Newsweek, GQ--all in Japanese, of course). Flash 10 is supported although we get no chance to try it. The missing trackball on the 10, 8-inch model was not much cause for concern as it all, but was redundant to the 5.5-incher. Looks promising now, but with its US launch not expected, until sometime in 2011, no telling what the competition might look like then. More pictures in the gallery below!
