Sony won more than twenty awards at the 2009 CES in nearly every product category they have major investments in. Sony really won big in the TV and digital imaging category. We think they would have done better in the personal audio related awards if they let the press actually play with the Touchscreen Walkman! The award givers include respected groups, such as the CEA, Home Theater Specialists of America, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Sound & Vision, CNET, and even a couple of Emmy’s. Great job to everyone at Sony!
