There's also a sensor to tell you when the lens cap has been left...

Junzo Masuda, director of iSuppli, a market-research firm in Kyoto, says the real test is how Sharp's big-screen TVs ultimately fare against plasma display panels (PDPs), the dominant type of large-screen, flat-panel displays. Sharp may have better technology, but Masuda wonders whether the company can reduce costs enough to defeat the makers of PDP sets, which are significantly cheaper. "There is a real price battle going on," says...
