Jumping Off The S.S. Microsoft

Sony is making a run on Apple’s market share by introducing its own answer to the iPod. But here’s what I don’t get. It uses a proprietary file format that isn’t compatible with any of the existing on-line music stores. It doesn’t even play MP3s. Are the executives at Sony high? I can’t imagine that many people would be willing to give up their MP3 collections for the sake of a new Walkman. I don’t think Steve Jobs will lose any sleep over this.

Check out this PDA for people who are blind. It’s got Bluetooth, WiFi, speech output, the works. Very cool. It’s not as portable as a Palm Tungsten, but it’s a step in the right direction.
