Sony outlined a number of new products yesterday, although showstoppers were thin on the ground. Chief among its products were new Bravia high definition TVs, including a slim design 55” SXD, a 46” XBR LCD and an 82” HD TV with triluminance back lighting for improving the image quality.

As you'd expect, Blu-ray was also pushed heavily, and we can expect to see products in early summer, including recordable players and internal and external drives. Sony is also bringing out a desktop with Blu-ray recordable capacity.

By spring, there'll also be 20 Hollywood titles in Blu-ray.

The fifth generation Sony Walkman phone was also announced, the W810, which includes a 2megapixel camera with auto focus. This is similar to the Sony Ericsson D and K750i, which we tested several months ago.

Although the image quality on the Sony Ericsson would disappoint hardcore camera enthusiasts, for those used to snapping on a digital camera the quality is fine. We expect the Sony Walkman to be of similar quality.

We'll add a link to our Podcast giving more details on the W810 a little later.

There was also a nine ounce Sony ebooker Reader, with over 10,000 books available for download from its service. Sony claimed this would 'revolutionise reading', but we seriously doubt the reader will ever be anything more than a very niche product.

Finally, Sony talked extensively about its Location Free TV adaptor, and that was interesting enough to warrant a story by itself, so you can read about that here.
