Apple-Sony, find it hard to believe

But interesting nonetheless.

Sony?? That sounds like some overpaid financial analyst's drunken mergers and acquisitions fantasy.

I'm sure that people here could speculate in a much more plausible way.

The rumor about a Disney deal is pretty suspicious, too. Jobs is their biggest shareholder. His old Pixar team is running the show over there now. Why would he feel any need to buy a company that he already has dominion over?

Sony sports revenues of over $70 Billion. Sony Pictures (Columbia) and Sony Music are probably pretty tempting. I think that Sony's entertainment properties hamstrung them during the formative years of portable digital music and video.

They should buy Dell, liquidate it and give what's left back to the shareholders.

Disagree. STRONGLY. Sony's fascination with their own technology killed them.. Beta, MD, ATRAC, Memory Stick, etc... all were great technologies, but Sony took too long to bring them to market or tried to control them too much. And lost.

The key to consumer product success is agility. Sony was too big and too controlled. Apple kept their vibe in product development by keeping their teams small.

Such a load of crap, placed there by a trading house with too much holding in Adobe or Disney
and wanting to offload it to "customers."

why would anyone want them now that they've discontinued the walkman?
