Sony set to plug broadband entertainment vision
Sony is set to unveil its latest range of gadgets at a major showcase in Japan on September 14.
Sony's Dream World 2002 event in Yokohama will emphases a move to link digital devices to Sony's entertainment content.
Sony President Kunitake Ando said: "The broadband revolution is now happening.
"Through Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Pictures Entertainment, we can drive demand for network content as well, and we are starting to make that happen now."
One new product on display will be a tuner that connects digital television sets to the internet by broadband.
CoCoon will be able to record 100 hours of video and automatically record programs under key single words.
Additional services will include email, internet downloads and links from mobile phones to start recording a show when away from home.

Other innovations on show at a press preview included a flashlight-like device that allows you to project video images onto a wall, a dancing baby-sized robot and a videophone wristwatch.
