More iPod Clones

This time thanks to Sony. Our sister site, Engadget, points out a story in this mornings New York Times about Sony’s plan for a $300 range harddrive based MP3 player and an online music store to work with it. Sounds like the iPod/iTunes combo to me. It’s no secret that Sony used to rule the portable audio market with their Walkman line, so it only makes sense that they’d try to get it back from Apple. At the end of the day, who ever has the best product at the best price is going to win, so it’s just a matter as to if Sony can pull that off or not.
