Its Bravia HDTVs are actually selling quite well, and for all the negative attention being given its gaming platform, the PlayStation 3 isn't really lagging -- just not growing as well as anticipated. Or maybe as needed in this rotten economy, which we already know has impacted Sony badly. It could use a lift right about now, and it doesn't look like Blu-ray will be it. So the biggest surprise of all could be that the Sony product generating all the buzz this year is a netbook PC.
Left out of its press event yesterday, Sony today launched a new Wi-Fi enabled camera, the 10.1-megapixel DSC-G3. Most notable about this slim digicam is a built-in Web browser for connecting to public hotspots.

"Coming soon," read a mysterious sign in the portable PC section of Sony's CES booth last night. Sony showed 3-D technology to journalists, too, but that "wasn't an announcement" either? Is there more to come from Sir Howard?

It's only the first set of Sony announcements, but the product assortment at Sony's booth preview Wednesday was enough to cap the evening with something approaching nerd-vana, if you like your gadgets colorful and slightly off-kilter.

It's Sony's answer to the netbook: its latest very slim P-series Vaio. But even that is taking a backseat to none other than Jeopardy!, another Sony property, complete with Alex Trebek live and in person.

The question in advance of Sony's first press conference at CES (there will be more than one) is whether it would choose to talk about its financial condition first. The answer is apparently "no," as it premiered its secret Vaio PC.
