First of all, congraturations for your victory over Toshiba's HD-DVD. I'm not a passionate blu-ray supporter, but am so releaved to hear the news 'cause I, and many other consumers alike, don't have to worry about which high definition DVD to buy any longer. As if "a failure is the mother of success", you have done your homework after miserably defeated by the videotape format war of Betamax and VHS decades ago.
You have a reputation of always offering consumers a second option: Betamax in videotape, blu-ray in high definition DVD and omg (or Atrac3) in digital music formats. However, those options have resulted in some inconvenience among consumers.
So, after defeating Toshiba, now it is your turn to admit your loss to Apple's iPod. I've been using Sony's net walkman for more than 7 years. However, you've been betraying such a loyal customer like me for several times such that:
- "Omg" (this doesn't stand for Oh My God, by the way), your own digital music format, is incompatible with iPod's "aac" format,
- Mora, your online music store, had finally cut the prices after Apple launched iTunes Store virtually in Japan,
- Mora's music coverages are still unevenly concentrated on J-pop music (I prefer Amerian HipHop), and
- There are no available PodCasting at all.
Unless you change your arrogant marketing strategy, I have to purchase an iPod before the switching cost gets higher. This is my last warning.

Sincerely,
Your Loyal Customer (for now)

Why!? Why, Toshiba!? Why couldn't you try harder!!?? The HD-DVD is much cheaper!!
I agree that Sony has an arrogant way of doing business. Not only their music format being a nuisance, I feel their lack of dealing with the battery over-heat defect in their computers are also something they are very good at ignoring!
I WANT to buy a Sony laptop! Get the dumb batteries to cool down!
Welcome back, Tomi (from the matrix?!).
Don't worry, thanks to Toshiba (until the company's decision), a high-definition DVD player has been getting cheaper. Plus, as Toshiba shifted its strategy to boost its flash memory business, the life cycle of blu-ray disc will be very short. Video downloading (or streaming) might be coming soon before we purchase a blu-ray player!
Interestingly, my VCR player and DVD player are all Toshiba!! Sorry, Sony again.
