I think there's something we just have to understand about Sony:

Their marketing department has a death wish.

That's why they blew the tape and cassette market.
And the Video Recorder (Beta) market.
And, now, the CD market.

I sure hope AT&T can do better.  Seems to be something about these
inventive, high tech companies.  In each of the above cases, Sony
substantially created the market themselves, then stood aside and
let everyone else take it away from them. Maybe its their president,
lately he has been saying he wants to sell just to OEMs and industry.
(Sh*t!)
