"
has-been" might be precisely the correct phrase in Sony's case.
Back in the "Sony, no baloney" days, I was a big fan of their stuff, even when they backed the wrong horse (in hindsight, betamax, minidisk, etc) but lately, except for the ereaders, their consumer products have been pretty much the same disposable garbage as everyone else's.
The ereaders are expensive, but they do seem well made, like Sony of old.
