Today in the San Jose Mercury News, Sony announced that they were
in the midst of talks with Apple, apparently instigated by Apple, for the
purpose of having Sony manufacture a notebook Mac for Apple.

In the article they specifically stated that it was not clear if
this would include licensing the technology to Sony for them
to manufacture and sell.

But a quote from an Apple person was (approx.): "Licensing the
technology is no longer an untouchable subject inside Apple."

Maybe they are listening?
