Sony (TSE: 6758) began offering May 17 "Grami Online Contents Guide," a free Internet content service that aggregates online content from several e-tailer sites and web portals. The service generates an icon for each website, and informs users when new content becomes available.The service features a catalog-style interface to enable users to quickly access the latest online content by simply clicking these icons, drastically saving time for web browsing. The service initially supports 33 websites, and 50 by September.
