Sony was the Apple of the 80s :) ... their consumer electronics were objects of lust, as you mention, the Walkman and the Trinitron lines. http://www.pcworld.i

- shaneofalltrad 13y agoI think there are some major changes being made to regain this position and it is backed with some really cutting edge products, along with smarter financial decisions. I think the only thing they are lacking is the respect due to past mistakes, mistakes that have been removed from the line completely over the past year or are in plans to cut in the next few months. They plan to marked high-end only and it looks like serious thought in filling the need of better software and developers. I have no inside, but I would not be surprised if you start seeing HackerNews worthy projects popping up from Sony Developers in the next few years.
- scholia 13y agoI hope so. I used to use a ton of Sony products (Trinitron, Walkman Pro, PS2, PSP, MiniDisc, SACD player) but today it's down to one: a TV set.
