Analysts Cautious About Sony's PSP
Success
06/01/2004 09:08 AM

med_psp_front.jpg imageApparently I'm not the only one tentative about the success of Sony's upcoming portable game console, the PSP. Analysts in Tokyo are keeping their distance until Sony decides to reveal more of their game plan, specifically as it pertains to retail price (which will likely fall between $200 and $300). While Sony continues to swear it has a hit on its hands -- especially Sony Computer Entertainment president (and father of the Playstation) Ken Kutaragi, who continues to claim the PSP is "the Walkman of the 21st century" -- some analysts, like UFJ Tsubasa Securities' Takashi Oka think that Nintendo's dominance of the market will be a harder egg to crack than Sony expects. They did it once, seizing on Nintendo's seemingly-trivial exclusion of a CD-ROM drive from the Nintendo 64, and Sony is betting that the addition of an optical drive will lead them to success again.

Industry watchers are somewhat skeptical that Apple's newly announced iPod Mini will be as successful at its first generation portable music players because its US$249 price tag is not low enough to compete with other players and is too close in price to its 15GB model to warrant the US$50 difference.

Leaders of the power line networking space say that Wi-Fi's success in the home helps the power line networking industry: A spokesman for Intellon, which makes power line networking chips, says that the dead spots that result from many Wi-Fi networks in homes create an opportunity for power line networking, which can be used for network access in the dead zones. HomePlug, the alliance of power line networking companies, is also hoping to get ahead of its networking competition with a new standard it is working on that will be fast enough to support high-definition TV....

SALT LAKE CITY -- Novell may be a U.S. company, but as a Linux vendor it is still struggling for respect in a U.S. market dominated by Red Hat. But over the last year Jack Messman's company has tightened up relationships with vendors like IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, and the Novell chairman and CEO hopes to eventually leverage those relationships to bring Novell's Suse Linux success not only to the U.S., but also other international markets. Still, Messman says that China, one of the fastest-growing and largest markets in the world, is not on his radar just yet.

Are We Being Overly Cautious In Going
Back To The Moon?
01/17/2004 10:47 PM
Someone who prefers to remain anonymous writes "Check out Marshall Brain's blog this morning. He writes about Bush's plan to return to the moon. What Brain says is fascinating and right on target: "At the start of 1958, America had never had anything in orbit and NASA did not even exist.... Yet, despite our total ignorance and lack of technology, we went from NOTHING all the way to man-on-the-moon in just 11 years." Then he looks at Bush's plan to put us back on the moon in sixteen years and asks, what does this tell us? Despite all of the technological advancement since 1958, we are now SLOWER than we were!" While this is an interesting comparison, we certainly don't know all the details surrounding the timeline and why it was chosen. If sixteen years means doing certain things right, rather than risking lives, then there's nothing wrong with that. Also, if the plan is designed in a way that it's not a "one-time" shot - but set up to further exploration, then it might make sense. Meanwhile, other science-fiction writers weigh in with both positive and negative responses to the plan.

USATODAY.com - The spreading insurgency in Iraq is eroding public support for President Bush's handling of the situation.
