Casual Friday: The Walkpod

It's Friday! Let's celebrate with a little levity.
What happens when out-of-touch Sony offers to collaborate with Apple? Why, the WalkPod, of course! This portable device combines new and old concepts of "music in your pocket."
Knowing Sony, it'll cost $599.*
Thanks, Owen!
*Just to be clear: This is a joke.

Oh please, like Apple doesn't overprice 1/2 their f**kin stuff? A stupid non-3G fone (2 little 2 late) that's about $300 more than it needs to be.

'n i suggest Sony to apply a PSP, instead of ipod's "classy" games
>>>iPSP :p
Calm down there buddy, just a blog.
Anyways, I suppose a better version would be knowing *both* Apple *and* Sony it would be $599, if not more.
(still scratching my head)
Is it because their PSP is in second place? http://www.pspworld.com/sony-psp/news/sony-psp-number-two-pdp-behind-ipod-005917.php
I may be wrong, but I think the walkman was as big or bigger than the iPod in its day so what is with this strange effort to belittle Sony? Is it really because they're asking Apple type pricing on their latest console? If so, I ask again, what is with this strange effort to belittle Sony?
