Sony: Thin Is In

With settop cable and satellite receivers, converter boxes, game devices, and DVD players proliferating in homes, Sony has apparently concluded that thin is in. The company has released a new DVD player (DVP-NS708H) in Europe with the capacity to improve the quality of conventional DVDs to "near HD" quality via what it calls "Progressive Cinema Scanning Technology." It is 17 inches long by 8 inches wide by just 1.7 inches thick. One British reviewer described it as "waif-like."
