This is about software, UI, and access to content. When it comes to content distribution and ways to consume that content, no one does it better than Apple.
Sony has a "four screen" strategy of offering network services on mobile phones, tablet computers, personal computers and TV sets. "I spent the last five years building a platform so I can compete against Steve Jobs," Mr. Stringer said. "It's finished, and it's launching now."
Yeah, Sony, a company producing TV's for over 30 years will surely lose to Apple Television sales that are just starting out.
Never say never. Look at what happened to Nokia... and RIM... and Microsoft Phone...

I can't wait for a tv that will cost twice as much, only suppots 720p and will not allow me to hook up a blu ray player, a xbox 360, or a ps3.
There is a Korean company called Samsung that has been making TV's for a much shorter amount of time than Sony and is kicking the crap out of them is quality and sales.
Sony has been a long-time champion of building high-quality TVs, but their UI has plain sucked on every product I've ever used. Whatever Apple's plan is, it's clear they intend to simplify the TV experience... and that has been the exact opposite of ANYTHING Sony has EVER done.
Yeah, Nokia, a company producing phones for 30 years will surely lose to Apple iPhone sales that are just starting out.
You can fill that "Nokia" space in with any number of the old guard names. Motorola, Microsoft, Palm, you name it. Do the same for tablets.
Sanjay Jha in 2007: "But is Apple ready for us?" Yeah, they nearly killed your business. Ask Ballmer what Apple did to Windows Mobile. Apple left a path of destruction in their wake. As for tablets, Apple blew the pre-2010 market into oblivion. We had tablets in the past. Look at tablets post January 2010.
Never underestimate Apple in a new market. Anyone that puts User Experience first and has the ecosystem to back it up has a more than even chance of shaking things up.
Sony makes the hardware. So what. Sony is Panasonic is LG is Samsung. You can barely tell them apart. It's all just specs. 120 Hz MontionFlow vs. the other guy's 120hz MotionCinemaX+. LOL. One is slightly smoother than the other, but the other does SD content better, but this one has internet connectivity, yes and so does the other, but this guy's remote is easier, etc. Same ****. Six of one, a half dozen of the other.

The "Apple implementation" usually tends to change the game, especially when it's about synergy between hardware+software.
The PS3 is over 5 years old now. Maybe they should focus on something that needs a refresh.

That guy looks money hungry
Yep Samsung TV's are to die for.
Apart from a PS3, would never own any Sony kit in my setup.
Think their TV's are way overpriced.

Yeah, Sony, a company producing Walkman's for over 20 years will surely lose to Apple iPod sales that are just starting out.
I can see your logic.![]()
