10-15 years ago, Sony was it. Walkman, Trinitron TVs, Sony PS, Mini Disc (which I still like) even Sony Ericsson phones.

Now, I look at their TVs and am not impressed at all. Phones are crap. Mini disc is gone.

Why?? Because their products look shit now. They used to be the king for looks and had excellent build quality. Now you hold their stuff and its crap.

And not only do they look crap, built crap.. They try and charge Apple and Samsung prices when clearly they are not in the same league. Even their laptops are crap. I bought a Z series laptop. $4K - took it back as it DID NOT DOMWHAT IT SAYS ON BOX. Slow, and weak battery.

Went and bought a MacBook Pro retina for $2.5k and it was better in every way.

This is the reality.

My last good memory with Sony, was the P910i.
Amazing! At that time, it was the best!

Touch screen, Pen, +Hard Keyboard, good battery, install random apps, IR and external memory!!

Before all this iPhone and Androids clone!!

Sony rocks!!

.....oh, that was nearly 9 years ago :(
I've move out long time too...

thats a simple sale and lease back transaction, usually businesses opt fot this when facing Profitability or to be more precise liquidity issues. Stated net the company would have of $600+ million could well counter the current difficulties the company is facing. whereas The question is that how come the figure be shown as operating Income? secondly i believe the fact could influence the decision of Shareholders and investors both positively(in long run) and negatively(scheme of earning management).

AnonD-77794, 19 Jan 2013they did the same thing like nokia, and the fate will be soon...yeah going the same way as nokia,but its the other way round not as u think;
u lose smartphone sales,
u do not lose quality,
u lose critical acclaim in
tech sites, u do not lose die heart
fans,
u lose employees and sell
headquarters and rent
them
u make a bang with the 920 and 820;u make a
bang with xperia z and
zl
while samsung and apple
(fans) stare at the old
piece of techs in their hands.
Surely nokia is on
correct track wid asha
and the 920(mind u,its selling in millions,its a great deal for a platform which was born in its present form just some time back),i hope the
same for sony(i love
sony products too). I guess sony gets
enough resources and
teaches android better
core and battery
management!!

I see a lot of people are in love with sony (for good reason) but thier business goes far beyond mobile.

Sony has a lot of divisions that pool in income. Lately they haven't been as successful, but if they get their exclusive titles back i think they'll be fine.

If not, i would hate to see a world without playstation or Columbia films.
