Earlie: I share your concern for the PC sector which has failed to make any recent progress for their products. The level of differentiation between dell, compaq, ibm, or gateway is pretty much a joke. It all boils down to the latest "upgrades" from MSFT and INTC.
However, let's take a moment to reflect on Sony's products. I can now buy a box that let's me edit videos from my camcorder, listen to a CD, watch a DVD, download my vidoes or pictures via i-link or memory sticks, & zip along on the internet. I haven't even touched my Windows ME platform or required the use of my 1GigaByte Pentium.
The pc industry has been plagued by the complete inability to understand anything associated with the word digital. Sony is the company best positioned to capitalize on the products related to every area of computing, multimedia, home entertainment, etc.. They have developed digital TV's, camcorders, cameras, pc's, notebaooks, dvd's, and cd's that can share information.
Sony is the leader of the wired world as they have digitalized the entire gambut of products. FWIW, I would trade in my whole basket of pc stocks for Sony. |
