Today, Sony shows off the BDP-S770, a truly awesome Blu-ray player of its own.
This is not what you'd call a "me too" product—at the moment it has the hottest Blu-ray specs we have seen. Like other top models, it has integrated Wi-Fi, Bravia Internet Video Link (now with Netflix). Like the new crop of flagship players, it will support 3D movies. But on top of all of that, it will support an iPhone/iPod Touch remote control app, which will be free in the App Store. Crazy, and restores some of my faith in a company that has fallen behind. The only thing we really don't know is pricing—and we won't know that until closer to launch this summer. By then, who knows, maybe others will have taken the iPhone-app angle too. For now, Sony can bask in the Blu awesomeness.
As you can expect, Sony has a ton of Blu-ray products coming down the line. I'm gonna let their spec list speak for itself:
