He's sort of right. At least they would have been more competitive with apple. Sony's engineers are good and their design teams have a decent aesthetic sense.

Sony's engineers are good and their design teams have a decent aesthetic sense. Their problem is lethargic and dull management.
I was involved with TWO different companies since 2001 who tried to partner with sony offering exactly what he describes: open standards / open source tools for distributing content to sony devices, and they dropped the ball both times.
- alain94040 17y agoSony engineers are good at hardware design. But in software they are poor at best. Plus, the funny thing about a lot of hardware engineers is that they think they can write software ok. At least software engineers don't pretend to design hardware. So management takes a bunch of firmware engineers and expects them to design great-looking apps. Right.
