腾讯科技讯（编译/清雨）北京时间2月4日消息，据国外媒体报道，索尼周四暗示，公司准备推出一款新产品挑战苹果即将面市的iPad平板电脑。

索尼首席财务官Nobuyuki Oneda在东京举行的新闻发布会上说：“我们对平板电脑市场也非常感兴趣。我们坚信，我们具备了开发类似产品的实力。”他没有提供更多相关细节，不过他表示，索尼已经瞄准了类似苹果iPad平板电脑产品的市场。

Oneda还表示：“从时间上来说，我们有点落后于iPad，但是我们希望能在这个领域有所作为。”

索尼去年十月曾表示，计划推出一系列基于网络服务的新型移动产品，接入它的新网络服务在线应用商店。索尼的应用商店可以把音乐、电影、游戏和电子书带到旗下的众多产品中，包括Bravia电视、Vaio PC、Walkman音乐播放器以及电子书阅读器。

苹果定于今年3月开始在市场上销售iPad，预计iPad的上市不会对电子书阅读器市场产生冲击。Oneda称，电子书阅读器市场正呈指数式增长。他说：“索尼的电子书阅读器Daily Edition可以连接3G网络，受到了用户的一致好评，我们计划扩大该产品的销售。”

Sony plans to compete against iPad

Sony intends to launch a competitor to the Apple iPad, the touch-screen tablet computer that has become the talk of the technology community.

“Sony is very much interested in this segment of the market and we have [the] necessary technology,” Nobuyuki Oneda, Sony chief financial officer, said on Thursday in a call with analysts, without giving any details.

He indicated that no product launch was imminent and acknowledged that its US rival had stolen a lead. “There is no denying that we are running a bit behind, though,” Mr Oneda added. Apple launched its iPad tablet PC last week and stirred the debate about the potential for the new segment.

Sony has faced criticism in recent years for losing its technological edge in key consumer segments. The Japanese electronics company failed to take advantage of the rise of the MP3 music player, losing the lead its Walkman products had in the portable music market. It similarly lost its top position in game consoles to Nintendo’s Wii.

Mr Oneda’s comments came as Sony reported its first quarterly profit in more than a year. In the third quarter, every division made money at the operating level except its share of the Sony Ericsson mobile phone joint venture.

Sony on Thursday revealed the impact of its restructuring programme when Japan’s leading electronics brand cut its forecast loss for the year to March 2010 after a strong Christmas quarter.

The group said it now expected to make a net loss of Y70bn ($782m), down from its October forecast of a Y95bn loss. Excluding restructuring costs and losses at affiliates, Sony expects to make a full-year operating profit of Y140bn, up from its previous forecast of Y110bn.

The results appeared to vindicate the aggressive programme of job cuts, factory closures and internal restructuring launched a year ago by Sir Howard Stringer, chairman and chief executive.

Sony is cutting its number of manufacturing sites from 57 in December 2008 to 45 by May 2010.

While sales of Sony’s core consumer devices were down by more than 10 per cent on the previous year, costs were Y77bn lower, so the division swung back into profit.

The networked products and services division made a profit because of increased sales of Vaio PCs but PlayStation video games continued to struggle. Sales of 6.5m PS3 consoles in the quarter, up from 4.5m last year, could not offset a price cut on the PS3 and weak sales of the PlayStation Portable.

Sales at Sony Pictures were up by 16 per cent on the previous year due to the success of 2012 and the Michael Jackson film This Is It.

连multitasking都不支持的那么一个废物，根本就是iphone的体积放大兼功能缩水版，居然还有那么多人趋之若鹜，到店里去买还要冒着被歧视的危险，真是可笑的紧呐～

ipad都烂大街了，还没见sony有啥动静。
不过，使用手机OS的ipad能算是电脑吗？sony要整一台这么低端的“电脑”技术上肯定没问题，商业上问题可就大了，人家ipad实际上是在利用iphone的平台和用户群赚钱呢。

跑什么系统？一个造当的OS比一个硬件平台更重要。

应该是茶几电脑。索尼将于今年6月推出一款名为atracTable的茶几电脑与微软Surface展开竞争。

　　索尼最早是于去年在德国斯图加特举行的Vision 2009大会上展示atracTable的。该公司表示，这款产品将于今年6月初发布。

　　索尼表示：“瑞士公司Atracsys是专业的多点触控互动企业，并于2008年推出了60英寸的多点触控产品atracTable。该公司已经将这项技术出售给索尼，我们将实现35英寸产品的量产，并将与微软Surface展开竞争。”

　　Atracsys已经完成了原型产品的开发，该公司表示，atracTable将配备高对比度的全高清屏幕。

　　与微软Surface一样，用户可以将手机或咖啡杯等物体放在这款茶几电脑上，从而与之进行互动。这类产品最有可能被用于商店或博物馆中。

　　这套系统是由索尼ISS和Atracsys共同研发的，它可以分析用户的身体运动，并且根据任何的手势或位置变换来做出响应。索尼还表示，这款产品的敏感度非常高，甚至足以判断出用户的年龄、性别和喜怒哀乐。

  
索尼将于今年6月推出一款名为atracTable的茶几电脑与微软Surface展开竞争。  

　　atracTable搭配两个索尼ISS XCD-V60摄像头，可以用于创建3D图形。这些摄像头还可以被用于控制鼠标、虚拟人物或机器人。Atracsys CEO盖坦·马蒂(Gaetan Marti)去年11月表示，这款产品几乎可以被用于任何情况，包括游戏、工业、医疗和零售行业。

有SONY好。iPad台湾贴牌货不好意思拿出手。

但是这个的扩展确实不怎么样！

进入此领域的厂家越多越好啊!

早就听说SONY要整合产品，但是到目前为止也没见到。
