I.E: What about Sony? Do you see them making a move to add B&N's content and selling expertise to theirs?

Sony's biggest thing is the "not built here" corporate mindset...and if Sony was in the content business, which oddly enough they are with their entertainment division/studios...but your suggestion could make sense it's just Sony has never been a retail presence sort of company, at least Apple has the Apple Stores presence to leverage if they chose to do such a deal and keep the stores open.
hehehe...I can see it now, "...iCoffee it's what every iPad/iPhone/iTouchMyself owner simply must have to make their life complete...plus Windows does not do mochaccinos!!"
