I tried to get more details out of her but there were so many people around that it was tough to just get that much information. she did say it would fix the problem of the software crashing with big file transfers. When I asked her about anything new in the works from Sony, she told me that was "G14 classified".
We did have a chuckle about that! When I told her I thought they needed something bigger and in color so that they could tap into the Education market, she winked at me and told me that was more "G14" information but to keep my eyes open. I told her that there had been some concerns about the strength of the Sony corporation and (as expected) she said the company was just fine. I also told her I thought they could bump up their marketing to try to compete more with the Kindle market. As much as I love Payton Manning (and dislike Justin Timberlake), I think Sony's TV ads really miss the mark.
I also asked about a trade in option for the 700 to upgrade to the 600 she said, "I thought we did have that", but then she told me to try to sell it on ebay because they are still selling there and for more money than Sony would give for an upgrade. I'm not ready to sell the 700, Shannon is still using it after all, but I really think if Sony were to market themselves a little more and extend more goodwill towards previous customers, it might go along way to promoting thier products.
