Sony Admits MP3 Error

inflex writes "In a rare show admission of taking a wrong turn, Sony's officials have admitted that their stance on MP3 players was wrong." While this was pretty obvious to anyone who has ever shopped for a portable MP3 player, it is nice to see Sony admit their shortcoming. Ken Kutaragi puts it best when he says, "We're growing up," and with any luck future devices won't be crippled with silly formats no one uses.

  1. Now admit that Vaio's are crap! by Evil+W1zard · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Wish they would come out and say that there Vaio series of desktops are crap as well and upgrade my old POS box to a shiny new one! In all fairness though Sony definitely seems to have their share of problems in electronic products, but I think overall they usually have a decent product.
