Sony sells iPod dockable speakers

That speaker set looks remarkably similar to a previous product from Sony Ericsson. I guess they just adapted the MDS-70 with an iPod connector.

#9 -- it was a joke. You want to hear petty bragging, check out Bill Gates' Newsweek interview:

"Hello, Sony. So glad you could join us! Welcome to the social; enjoy your ice cream."

I love the Mac too but good God, do you guys never tire of this petty bragging? Every time I venture over to this site it's just one smug post after another.

No doubt you've got your Apple shares to bolster but please just ease off on the flag waving.

As a reader above mentioned, it was their Xplod car audio division that were first to switch to the dark side =).
I recently purchased a XA-110IP, an iPod adapter for Unilink compatible headunits (selected 2006 models and onwards).
Not only was I very surprised to see the "Made for iPod" on the box, but the other surprise was the price, especially compared to some 3rd party ipod adapters, it was just $49.95 USD.

Sony is also probably willing to make nice with Apple as they'll be a big partner for Blu-Ray in the upcoming.

"welcome to the social."

HAH!

Yeah, actually made Sony has had Made-For-iPod labels on some other products. I just bought a new Sony Car Stereo Headunit (2006) which supports an optional iPod Adapter. Since I got the iPod adapter at the same time, I checked out the box and sure enough that label was on there.

Also, that unit can play AAC files as well as ATRAC. This is only found in 2006+ models.

iTunes for PS3. That's what Sony really needs. That and a few more casual games. Where's solitaire, freecell, minesweeper, Euchre.Bridge. There's a ton of games that need to be made. Especially online Chess, Monopoly, Risk. Sorry off topic.

It begins with a small step. I always said, Sony will eventually embrace Apple's home entertainment software platform. Whether Apple acquires Sony's consumer electronics division or just settles for a strategic partnership remains to be seen. I suspect the latter. With Apple on the driver's seat of course.

Wow, this is just sad considering how dominant Sony used to be. But then again a Sony/Apple partnership would result in beautiful products. Imagine if Sony had gotten their shiz together and had released a joint media store with Apple along with products that worked interoperably. Or VAIOs running OSX out of the box. I definitely dig their designs but too bad their management sucks. I could do without the rookit and misguided DRM as well.
