| "Hoping to overcome the biggest obstacle to BD Live’s mainstream acceptance, Sony Electronics April 22 announced the first Blu-ray Disc player from Sony that can be connected to the Internet via a wireless home network.
The Sony S560 will be available at retail in July at a suggested list price of $349. It also will feature a “quick start” function that promises to play any Blu-ray Disc in six seconds, thus mitigating a common consumer complaint about slow load times.
But the big news is the player’s Wi-Fi capability, which Sony Electronics marketing VP Chris Fawcett said is in response to research that indicates 83% of the nation’s more than 70 million broadband homes now have wireless home networks." – Alan Cheslow |
