Sony's PVP
(With iPod explosion)... But it's not too late for Sony. We don't mean the rumored hard-drive MP3 player that Sony supposedly will introduce next year. There probably isn't a whole lot the electronics giant can do now to unseat the iPod, but Sony does have a chance to leapfrog competitors in the next wave of entertainment gadgets: personal video players. PVPs are basically hard drives with screens attached for watching videos.
A few weeks ago, a prototype of a Sony PVP turned up at the WPC Expo trade show in Tokyo. The sleek-looking gadget -- which has a high-resolution 3.5-inch display and the sort of design that makes you remember why you ever liked Sony in the first place -- has space for about 10 hours of video, or five full-length movies, on its 20-GB hard drive.
Besides looking good, a Sony PVP will have to make it easy for people to have stuff to watch. But here's where things get hairy. Because it's illegal to copy a DVD to a computer, and most people won't want a PVP to watch home videos, the most likely source of content will be peer-to-peer file-sharing networks like Kazaa, where it's not too hard to find MPEGs of The Sopranos and The Simpsons.
