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.
He shouldn't be modded troll, he should be modded overrated because there is no -1, doesn't get it mod. The reason the iPod is so successful is iTunes, the iTunes Music Store and the iPod's small form factor. The iPod's ease of use is why it's so successful, not some kind of magical Apple marketing. Since he doesn't get that factor and doesn't address it in his post, he doesn't deserved to be highly moderated.
