Laptopmag has just published an interview with Mike Abary, who is senior vice president of Sony’s Information Technology Products Division. This is what he says about the sony reader:
Quote:
Q: Is there any similar collaboration going on with the Sony Reader team?
A: There was a reorganization that occurred at Sony where PlayStation, VAIO, Walkman, and Reader came under the same electronics group. As such, with those categories being put together under one umbrella we need to collaborate. I also see a better integration of Reader with VAIO products.
Q: Will you be launching any touchscreen notebooks this year?
A: There are certain things that will be native on Windows 7 that we are certainly going to take advantage of. Without giving too much away, we think touch on Windows 7 is something we find compelling and we will certainly introduce touch into some of our products at the launch of Win 7. You will see touch capabilities introduced on VAIO products that take advantage of Windows 7.
Q: So Holiday 2009 we are going to see a touch enabled VAIO with a crossbar media interface that allows you to tap into the Playstation network and access the Sony eBook store?
A: [Laughs.] You are going to see VAIO products that take advantage of already announced touch capabilities in Windows 7. You are also going to see more collaboration between the groups within Sony
