12 Of The Weirdest Gadgets Sony Has Ever Made
Sony was once an innovator in electronics and I tried to buy the brand whenever I needed a new TV or even a radio (which I don't think they make anymore.) I had a great Sony radio, which was fantastic, until the motherboard gave out and they no longer made a replacement. Still miss it to this day - it was my favourite listening device ever.
As for their odder products, I kind of like the "eMarker," which tracked the music being played on thousands of radio stations across the U.S.
"Once you'd made all the eMarks you need, it was time for Sony's amazing partnership with Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) to work its magic. This organization could track the music of over 1,000 stations all over the United States, with the timestamp on the eMarker being used as a reference point to bring up a list of all songs playing on these radio stations...which also generated a link to let you purchase a CD of a song you'd triangulated."

Sony will always be a criminal enterprise in my heart. They had - and likely still have - a fundamental contempt for the people who made them profitable.

Re: 12 Of The Weirdest Gadgets Sony Has Ever Made
I was a fan of Sony and their products for years! I bought one of their mini-disc recorder/player in Tokyo when they came out. I also still have my Sony Ericsson W600 phone, great design just limited by today’s standards, still works though.
The last Sony product I bought a couple of years ago, was a flat screen TV, they still make a great set!
