14 DAY TRIAL // Playstation home and on demand video sounded like "the next big thing" from Sony, but it seems that their opinion is slightly different. Therefore, they went and registered a mysterious television, home entertainment and gaming system, under the name of Mezone. And if you dig a little, you'll find out that mezone.com, even though now welcomes you with an "access forbidden" message, is registered by Sony Electronics (via Trademork).
Now, back to the things Sony has been planning for a while now, there are many classes in the trademark form, but none manages to offer a complete image about what this "Mezone" might be. However, here is a short part of the services Sony has filed in the trademark form:
"Computer hardware, set top boxes, remote controls, and computer software and peripherals, namely audio and video receivers and transmitters and computer software programs enabling receipt, download, playing, personalized and interactive viewing, and rental of audio and video programming through the use of internet connections to computer hardware, receiver and transmitter apparatuses that connect to a television set or monitor, computer software for use in database management; computer software for uploading, manipulating, and enhancing digital content, documents, photographs, images, video, and audio; computer software for linking metadata tags with photographic and other media files to enable search engine retrieval and database software collections of files and their on-line sharing, and for linking metadata tags with web pages visited, to create links which users can maintain for themselves and share with on-line groups and website tagging, electronic storage of media objects and other digital content including text, documents, photographs, images, video, and audio"
Yeah, that's quite a list and, as we said, it's just a part of it. Many other things are included there, like clothes such as ties, pants and many more. Maybe we'll become a Sony world, after all.
Leaving all the "movie, audio, photograph" things aside, there is one key word in here: playing. This means that, one way or another, we'll be able to use Mezone for this sweet activity we always enjoy. Hoping to get more details from Sony soon.
