Sony has developed ’single wire interface technology’, a hybrid transmission technology which facilitates both data and power transmissions through a single cable.

This technology enables the internal wiring of a mobile device to be streamlined through a single cable (copper wire). Conventionally, the video, audio and control signals as well as the power transmission were spread out over several dozen cables within the movable mechanisms of mobile devices, such as hinges or rotating parts. Sony aims to promptly implement this technology to improve design flexibility, reliability and durability for mobile devices with movable mechanisms.

Compatible with iPod Touch or iPhone, Sony has shipped its MDR-EX38iP headset now with DR-EX300iP, DR‑V150iP and MDR-E10iP available later this quarter. The four models feature an in-line remote control that puts commonly-used iPod/iPhone functions within fingertip reach while you’re jogging, commuting or relaxing. Built in integrated microphone also lets you answer incoming calls easily.

MDR-EX38iP

Available in a choice of black or white colour finishes, the MDR-EX38iP lets music lovers enjoy their favourite sounds in more style. The in-ear design features a 9mm Neodymium driver for rich, deep bass. Three sizes of hybrid silicone earbuds allow a secure, comfortable fit with any listener.

DR-EX300iP

The DR-EX300iP features a 13.5mm Neodymium driver unit that’s oriented vertically in the ear. A secure fit is assured by four sizes of supplied hybrid silicone earbuds, giving excellent sound isolation and extra-comfortable wear. The DR-EX300iP comes supplied with a genuine leather carry case for storage and transportation.

DR-V150iP

Tailor-made for DJs, the dual-purpose DR-V150ipP has a 30mm ferrite driver for deep bass and generous power handling. There’s a large adjustable headband for fatigue-free wear during the longest DJ set, while reversible earcups allow convenient ‘single-sided’ monitoring when you’re behind the decks.

MDR-E10iP

Comes in stylish Pink, Gold, Blue and Grey color, the MDR-E10iP let younger listeners express their individualty while listening to their favourite sounds. Crisp sound from the 13.5mm Neodymium driver is partnered with high-comfort wear, thanks to the supplied soft ear-pads that make a great fit for smaller ears.

First introduced more than a year ago, Sony announced the commercialization of the new close proximity wireless transfer technology TransferJet with its ”CXD3267AGG” and “CXD3268AGW” chipset. TransferJet wireless technology enables a high speed data transmission rate of 560Mbps, while eliminating the need for complex setup and operation. Directly touching two compliant electronic products together allows files to be transferred automatically, without the need for an access point.

Sony has also integrated the wireless function, signal processing function and host interfaces necessary for high-speed communication into a single package using CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) processing.

In addition, Sony is further enhancing its lineup with the release of three modules incorporating these new LSIs: a compact module for use in mobile products, a PCI Express Mini Card module for use in notebook PCs, and a USB connection module.

Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba today announced the formation of a Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group that intends to create an industry standard for an audio/video interface to connect mobile phones or portable consumer electronics (CE) devices directly to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays.  This new mobile connectivity standard, based on Silicon Image’s Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, will be defined, promoted and marketed by the Working Group as an industry standard.

The Working Group’s vision for the next generation of mobile connectivity is to provide an easy and cost-effective implementation for manufacturers while offering consumers a simple and reliable mobile connectivity experience.  A single-cable with a low pin count interface will be able to support up to 1080p high-definition (HD) digital video and HD audio in addition to delivering power to a portable device.

Available now in europe, the new Sony SRS-GD50iP 2.1 channel speaker system is specially tailored for iPod and iPhone via its docking slot.
