Google (and Sony) are unsurprisingly very keen to tell everyone that James Bond uses an Android phone, the Sony Xperia. You can't beat a bit of product placement but the way these things works aside, I wonder what other AV kit Bond might have?

I can see him in a pair of P3s... (I'm looking forward to ticking off all the product placement when I see it  ohhh sure)

Tricky one, I would like to think he has Pioneer and B&W speakers but I'm not too sure about that.  Blu- ray player Oppo 95?

Bond has always used a Sony (Ericsson) phone.

I'm guessing he would have a Sony tv, a Sony amp, a Sony player...

RE: James Bond uses an Android phone

I really don't know what all the particular fuss about product placement is re Skyfall - the Bond franchise have been doing it since day one. And one of the Brosnan Bond movies (Tomorrow Never Dies, IIRC) was the first film to have its entire shooting budget covered by product placement deals.

I've been working my way through the Bond Blu-ray boxset and some of the earlier electronic product placement is hilariously naff. The Philips keyring Timothy Dalton has to whistle at in The Living Daylights is cringe-worthy. Though not as outdated as its portrayal of Afghanistan, obvs...

The Daniel Craig Bond would have active speakers for sure.

i think they would be more of the Beo variety than the measurement brigades offerings.

Possibly, but, given that he wears a £4k Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean (automatic) and now drives a DB5 again, I think that something that is stupidly priced and bettered by things a tenth of the price is more the order of the day.  But which would you rather have...? Wink
