Sony tries to counter the iPhone, still doesn’t get it
October 17th, 2007
According to our friends from electronista, Sony and KDDI (a Japanese wireless carrier) are working on plans. The plan would be for Sony to “open” (allow) MP3 file exchange between Walkman phones and other devices. The iPhone will launch in Asia in 2008.
First, I don’t know if that’s true as electronista doesn’t provide additional quotes or links. However, if it is true, Sony’s efforts are futile: Apple has a one-two punch with a better hardware/software and a popular distribution platform (iTunes) (plus a lot of marketing hype). Sony has little to compete with. So, if the above is the grand plan to stop Apple from flooding Japan with iPhones, it seems… very light.
