Here's the newest press from Sony

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...14-709157.html

Here is a quote " The second part is more challenging. Sony must invigorate a product line-up turned staid in recent years. The new must-have products, according to Stringer, are networked devices, or electronic gadgets which link to a host of Web services like Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) Kindle electronic reader.

The Kindle's success strikes at the heart of Sony's troubles. Sony's own eBook reader was available a year before the Kindle but has failed to become a hit like the Amazon product. Unlike the Kindle, Sony's eBook doesn't have wireless connectivity or offer access to newspapers or magazines. "
