Sony is notorious for botching great hardware with horrendous software (or other painful experiences). The Sony ebook store could be so good. The PS3 Home online environment (rival to Xbox Live) could be so good. The Sony mp3 players could be so good. But none of them are. It's more than a little disappointing.
