Those super-sharp 3mm-thin Sony OLED TVs captured our imagination, big time. The real eye-opener is the company's demo of a group of completely wireless versions of the screen that run on battery power. The 11-inch displays include an HDTV tuner, and can be either wall mounted or placed on an odd-looking stand (see the gallery below These appear...
