I agree that Sony is not generally a lead technical innovator, at least when it comes to bringing products to market in the consumer products area. I am not familiar with their professional equipment. For example, I just obtained schematics and operation manuals for Sony's DVD player, and it's packed with different chips. I admit that its performance is excellent. But the design is a loser -- it costs $1000. The design uses 123 integrated circuits, including 3 microprocessors. The Sony MPEG2 decoder uses a 16M DRAM buffer, as do the MPEG2 decoders in other products. However, Sony implements this using four 4M DRAM chips rather than a single 16M synchronous DRAM chip, which Pioneer and Panasonic use in their DVD players. Regardless of whether Sony is a leader or follower, Cube clearly is a leader. I'm also P.O.'d by the stock price. My most recent purchase was at $28 (like David). It seems like ages ago when the stock was at that level! Now is probably a good time to buy more. I'm still long. What happened F Palardy, I thought you were on board?
