Sony has launched a new Blu-ray recorder in Japan, the BDZ-A70 with some interesting integration features.

As well as all the connectivty you'd expect and recording to a 320GB hard disk drive or dual-layer BD-RE media, Sony has given the new player special, super-easy linking tech with other Sony in-house devices.

As well as the ability to transfer data to certain NTT DoCoMo handsets, there's one-touch video transfer to Sony's PSP as well as for some video Walkmans from the company's range too.

A Japan-only launch at this stage, the price tag is set at 170,000 yen (£850) but there's nothing to say they won't be heading our way soon...
