Well, it came preinstalled on all Sony devices, either laptop or smartphone and was available on every device running Android.

Sony has always made great products. The problem with them is that any attempt at a product that includes a software component ended up becoming such a horrible, horrendous mess of confusion, instability, and shoddy work. They could have been a dominant player years ago during the iPod era but frankly, trying to force-feed their DRM on everyone I think doomed them to obsolescence.
