Oslo, Norway - August 30, 2007 - Opera Software 
today announced that Sony Electronics has selected 
the Opera browser for Sony`s new BRAVIA Internet 
Video Link, a module that attaches to the back of 
new Bravia televisions to access select free 
Internet video content. Opera will be used as the 
browser technology of the system and enable 
browsing of the available Internet video content 
that can be streamed directly to the television  
from providers such as Yahoo!, AOL and Crackle.
 
Today`s announcement is in reference to the notice 
to the Oslo Stock Exchange on November 28, 2006.
 
The BRAVIA Internet Video Link is available for a 
majority of Sony`s 2007 BRAVIA televisions 
including flat-panel LCD and SXRD and 3LCD micro-
displays HDTVs. The module links the television 
set 
directly through HDMI and USB connections and 
connects to broadband Internet service providers 
via an Ethernet connection.  The content can then 
be accessed directly on the TV without use of a 
personal computer.
 
The BRAVIA Internet Video Link module uses the 
Opera 9 SDK for Devices to bring video from the 
Web 
to the TV screen, and allows Sony to perform the 
integration themselves. Opera`s SDK is a complete 
toolkit that delivers the power of Web technology 
to any device, allowing for complete user 
interfaces to be quickly created and easily 
updated 
or customized for customers. Opera`s browser 
allows 
users of Sony`s Internet Video Link to easily 
navigate select Internet video content from the 
content providers
and display it on the TV.
 
The BRAVIA Internet Video Link is currently 
planned 
for deployment in the United States only. It is 
currently available at Sony Style, sonystyle.com 
and at authorized Sony dealers across the country.
