Whomever get to display an attractive, fast, legible, visible web page-like in a handheld device is the winner.

Sony thinks that the AOL page fits neatly in its handheld device and is collaborating with AOL.

Sony -time to dust off Akio Morita book, Eric!- works this way:

They take the medium and wrap a device around it.

Walkman: They took a music cassette and wrapped around it a stereo cassette player. They took a video cassette tape and wrapped around it a player.

Look to a ink jet printer. The manufacturer took a A-4 (US people use letter size) and wrapped around it a printer machine. look to your lap top: Its nothing more than a keyboard with a computer wrapped around it.

Now what is Sony doing with AOL? Like I said they are taking a web page and "wrapping around it a mobile GPRS-3G terminal. That's what they are good at.

ERICY mobile heads are not good at this sort of thing because they don't understand the consumer electronic market.
