How many people in your immediate vicinity do you know who still have a Sony product aside from a Playstation? I could think of only one and he's got IEMs they do not make anymore... Are there any popular Sony electronics left out there?

I see Vaio laptops fairly frequently at my university. Is Sony positioned internally in other supply chains too? That is, do we see Sony parts in other products?

  Does Sony still make Apple's batteries? I can't find the info anywhere.

    Samsung was iSuppli's best guess. It's an "Apple" branded battery usually on the inside.

  A lot of Nikon's DSLR use Sony sensors. The recent D800 is using a 36MP Sony sensor for instance.

Consumer-grade video cameras are a large market where Sony is strongly positioned. Walk into a Best Buy and you'll see Canons out front of the digital camera section, and Sony out front of the video camera section.

  Consumer-grade video cameras are being replaced by cell phones.

    And DSLRs.

      Agreed. Although I would call it prosumer, which is just a consumer with a bigger budget :-).

I own a Sony alarm clock. It is very cheap both in price and quality. I plan to replace with an iPhone stand.

  That reminded me that the last Sony product I purchased was an expensive, bulky, CD-playing alarm clock. Every morning I woke to the excessive noise of the CD spinning up, rather than to my music. :-)

It's the most common brand of TV I see, at least for larger models.

Their DSLT and mirrorless cameras, while well behind CaNikon in popularity, are becoming more popular and more importantly, gaining respect because they're actually innovating when it comes to cameras rather than the more-megapixel, high-ISO chest-banging that tends to go on.
