Sony's entertainment business is killing
its electronics business

Sony's entertainment business is killing
its electronics business 05/11/2004 01:58 AM
Derek Slater takes Sony to task over its new music-download service and iPod-like player.

Sony's acquisition of a couple of minor entertainment companies has had untold consequences. It's a poison pill that is killing Sony, one piece at a time.

Back from 1976-1984, Sony was the company that spent hundreds of millions on the defense of its VCR, bringing it all the way to the Supreme Court, arguing that the entertainment industry didn't have any right to its business-model; that if new technology could make the old business irrelevant, that was tough shit, and the movie companies needed to stop pewling and get with the program (they did, and made lots of money, besides).

But ever since Sony "aquired" Columbia, it's been acting like its electronics business was a minor business unit that couldn't afford to disrupt its precious entertainment arm (despite the fact that the entertainment arm's contributions to Sony's bottom line are minimal when compared to the gadget biz). When the first MP3 players appeared in the market, from little companies like Creative Labs, Sony brought out proprietary devices that played stupid formats like RealAudio and OpenAG, which no one wanted to hear. On the other hand, these formats did come with use-restrictions that kept Sony's music execs from getting too anxious and sad.

The result was that Creative Labs, a little outfit in Singapore, ate Sony's lunch, followed by a bunch of late diners to the table, including a bunch of no-name Korean companies, and most recently, Apple. Sony, who invented the walkman and made billions off of it, has now become an irrelevant player in the personal stereo market, with a market share that's barely a blip on the chart.

And Sony -- a company legendary for tis ability to refine its designs to capitalize on lessons learned in the market -- keeps on repeating the same mistakes, as Derek points out:

Apparently, Sony's hard drive player cannot play MP3s, WMA and (of course) Apple FairPlay-locked AAC. It only plays the Sony's proprietary ATRAC3 format; if it's like Sony's MiniDisc players, forcing consumers to convert to ATRAC3 also forces them to accept certain DRM restrictions. In related news, the Washington Post and New York Times both deemed Connect embarassing, noting its poor interface, proprietary DRM format and codec, copying restrictions ... too many to count.

It’s a myth that the information technology (IT) requirements of emerging and midsize businesses are simpler than those of large enterprises. Virtually every day, we interact with the technology and business leaders of midsize companies whose IT demands not only rival the requirements of much larger companies, but in many cases exceed them.Fortunately, emerging and midsize businesses can resolve the dilemma of updating their outmoded IT infrastructure without massive one-time investments in technology. New technologies, such as Microsoft® .NET, enable companies to leverage previous investments in technology while step-by-step integrating their business systems to enable an efficient, cost-effective, and flexible solution to driving and managing growth.

Sony Cybershot DSC-T33

Sony Cybershot DSC-T33 12/28/2004 11:13 AM

Sony has released a new sleeker version of the CyberShot DSC-T3, called the DSC-T33, in countries that aren't Japan or the United States. Much like the DSC-T11 was the slimmer counterpart to the DSC-T1, the new camera isn't fundamentally different internally than its predecessor—the difference is just the casing. I have no idea why the camera might be available in Korea, for instance, but not other countries, but I'm sure that demand for a svelte, blue camera will encourage someone to start importing it into the US.

Whether a Japanese importer will ship a Japanese product from Korea to sell again in Japan is something I can't speculate on.

Sony Cybershot DSC-M1 09/09/2004 09:00 AM

Oh Sony, when you aren't acting like a blind, lumbering bastard of a company sometimes I almost want to give you a big bear hug. Like when you make something like this new Cybershot DSC-M1 - there's no reason for it, you just decided to get funky, and let the engineers take a long, deep pull off the pipe before starting to design it. It's not the specs that really get me, I guess - it's just a 5.1-megapixel camera that scrounges parts from the DSC-T1 - it's just all the weird features, like the four shutter buttons and dual-microphone stereo sound recording. And the new MPEG4 video implementation (although in truth, I really don't care much about solid-state camcorders, at least not using expensive Memory Sticks).

LivingRoom has the press release and some pictures, while DCResource actually got to play around with one of the cameraphone-looking things and has lots of hands-on impressions and more pictures.

You know, I don't know why it's legal for id to release Doom 3 during the workweek. Some of us have to get up, you know?

Anyway, I was looking at the Sony Cybershot DSC-P150 -- the new one with a 7.2-megapixel resolutions; we mentioned it a couple weeks ago -- and just noticed for the first time that you can replace the lenses on this model. I don't know if that's a new thing for this body of Cybershot, but either way it's pretty great. The P150 just went from 'considering' to 'probably' on my personal buy list (I'm in the market for a camera).

Sorry the picture is so small. Apparently Sony isn't as proud of their lens as I am.

You know, this whole having a social life thing is not conducive at all to cooking you kids your gadget breakfast. Fortunately for me, Panasonic and Sony have provided some low-hanging fruit this morning with the launch of several new digital cameras, including a really nice looking CyberShot [pictured] with a 7-megapixel sensor. And by "nice looking" I mean "pretty cheap," as Sony plans to launch the DSC-P150 for less than $500. I was almost going to buy a camera today, but now I may end up waiting a bit.

Panasonic's 5 new Lumix models look decent, too, with 3.4- to 5-megapixel options and 12x optical zoom on the FZ model line. LivingRoom has a round up page with most of the details, as does Photography Blog.

Seems telemarketers have largely ignored the do not call list. With nearly 65 million people who have signed up for do not call 429,000 have received at least 1 call and that's just the people that reported it. Seems the FCC could cash in if they would go out and collect the fines but some wonder if they have the teeth.

The Latest Techie Complaints

The Latest Techie Complaints 04/15/2004 01:02 PM
So what does a techie have to complain about these days? It what must have been a fairly cathartic column, one tech columnist just tossed a few of his tech complaints into a single column that doesn't even bother trying to tie them all together. The three big complaints: (1) every time he finds a product he likes, it gets bought by another larger company (and, he implies, the larger company then kills what he liked about the product) (2) it's increasingly difficult to actually find stuff you want on a search engine and (3) plug and play often plugs, but doesn't play. The best part, though, is his description of the inevitable phone call after the new device doesn't work: "Is your computer turned on? Are you connected using a USB or firewire cable? Do you have more than a fifth-grade education?" Something about tax day seems to bring out people's complaining nature.

FCC Swamped By Number Portability
Complaints 01/29/2004 03:49 AM
By this point, it's pretty well known that wireless number portability didn't go so smoothly over the past couple of months. However, now the FCC has admitted the extent of the problems, saying that they've recei ved 4,750 complaints concerning number portability. Considering the total number of switchers, that's really not a huge percentage - but it still doesn't speak well to the efforts the wireless carriers put into the process. The FCC is now looking to see if any regulations were broken. Considering that many carriers were clearly dragging their feet on getting ready for this (partly as a ploy to ask for more delays), it seems likely that the FCC will fine a few carriers for screwing around when they should have been preparing (as we expected back in May). It still seems like a strategically backwards move not to have embraced something that customers clearly wanted - and which was clearly going to come sooner or later.
