From NYT:
“At first glance, digital music is the field in which Sony’s considerable assets seem best suited, with a little rearrangement, for a comeback. On one side, Sony has 50 years of experience in producing portable music players, beginning with transistor radios in the 1950’s and extended by its Walkman franchise that has sold more than 340 million players. On the other, it owns one of the world’s largest music labels to supply content. Yet in the iPod era, Sony’s headstart counts for nothing. It’s as if the company were the Sony Graphophone and Wax Record Company.”
