<\/a>Sony Insider's interview<\/a> with Sony COO Stan Glasgow turned up two nuggets of gold: Sony's OLED TV strategy for 2010 is, evidently, not to release any new OLED TVs<\/a> in 2010; and<\/em> the PS3 will get Bravia Link video streaming.<\/p>

That OLED TV innovation is still stalled is no surprise, since during lean economic times, companies—even huge ones like Sony—are hesitant<\/a> to throw down the capital outlay necessary to ramp up production on larger OLEDs:<\/p>

We're working on all sorts of prototypes, but I don't see production of product in 2010. There's a wonderful 3D OLED prototype here at CES; that's the real way to do 3D and TV – because you've got direct transmission, rather than back lighting and all the other reflective ways of doing it. But getting it to be commercially reasonable in price, we've got a long way to go. That's the whole problem in OLED, great technology, great feature set, but it's really hard to get the costs down. Smaller form-factors are easy to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>

We were warned<\/a>, so the most I can say about that news is that it's predictably disappointing. But the revelation that the PS3's video streaming features will be merged with Bravia Link is actually kind of awesome:<\/p>

We're beginning to port that network to other Sony products. We're doing BRAVIA Internet Video Link – which is more of a streaming service than a downloading service. We've got that growing at a fantastic rate in our televisions right now, we added it to Blu-ray players, and we're adding it to the PS3.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Bravia Link currently supports Netflix natively, so this could mean PS3 users get to ditch the disc for Instant Watch. Other than that, it would change a whole lot as is<\/em>, but the prospect of new streaming widgets being added to the Bravia Link platform—assuming it consistent across hardware—is definitely exciting.
