Sony Retreats from US Palm PDA Market

Sony Retreats from US Palm PDA Market 06/01/2004 07:25 AM

Ill tidings for the Palm world as Sony announces they will be withdrawing the Clie line from the US at least throughout the end of the year. Though Sony intends to honor all warranty and service agreements and to continue selling Clie in Japan, the retreat from market by the only other major PalmOS vendor besides PalmOne will have profound repercussions across the entire PDA market, despite Sony's insistence this is a "re-grouping" and not a total withdrawal from the market. BargainPDA's editors offer their opinions, and I'll quickly add mine after the jump.

New Sony Cybershots, HP Photosmarts,

New Sony Cybershots, HP Photosmarts,
Including Sony T3 (Rawr!) 08/30/2004 09:56 AM

Gott im Himmel, ze cameras! There have been like two dozen new cameras announced in the last few weeks as various manufacturers start ramping up for Christmas, and Sony and HP are no exception. Among the new Sonys announced today are two pocket-sized beauties that I want right now: the T3, an update to the T1 and Japan-only T11, a 5.1-megapixel camera that is Sony's thinnest at less than three-quarters of an inch; and the DSC-L1, a candy bar 4.1-megapixel unit that is only 3.75-inches long. Just when I was ready to buy a new camera Sony has to muck it all up with at least two that really do it for me. Oh, and there's also the new DSC-V3, a 7-megapixel unit that looks mighty fine, as well.

The HPs, well, they are okay, but I'll be honest, they don't get me all riled up as much as the two featherweight cameras from Sony do. If they fixed the middling image quality of the T1 in the T3, that may be my next sidearm. Living Room has a bunch of the press releases, and I'll add to this post if any more info comes through during the day.

While Sony Tries To Become Apple,
Samsung Tries To Become Sony 05/13/2004 03:41 AM
Has anyone noticed that it's becoming increasingly difficult to tell Samsung from Sony? It appears that almost everything Sony does, Samsung does as well. So, it's really no surprise that a little over a month after Sony announced plans to build out retail stores more for advertising than for sales, Samsung plans to do the same thing. Of course, while Sony says they're more interested in using the stores for advertising, Samsung has gone one step further. They believe so strongly that this "store" is just for advertising that they won't sell you anything at the store. It's for showcasing products only. Also, a random note in the article, but the same week that Sony and Nintendo announced their plans for their next generation handheld gaming devices, this article also mentions that Samsung is planning for its own N-Gage like phone/gaming device. Apparently, the dismal failure of the N-Gage isn't enough to scare them off.

The name of the conference room at PalmSource was "Absolute Panic"' -- but the Sunnyvale company's chief executive was a picture of calm when I stopped by a couple of weeks ago. Dave Nagel's confidence may have been shaken a bit since then, especially given Tuesday's announcement that Sony, one of the company's important customers, was on its way toward aban doning the arrangement (Mercury News). But it would be premature, at best, to assume that the Sony move is a sign of doom. More...
