You guys can say what you want, but to be truly successful in the smartphone space in the long term, android isn't the way.
The smartphone division will become the next Vaio in 10 years, what's stopping it? They'll have the best design, even hardware, UI - but the android space will be too crowded. Thankfully, Google has failed to commoditize the smartphone market - the cause being very annoyed partners. But they'll try again and they might be more successful next time.
The Vita has been given new life. But will it get a successor?
A well developed mobileb OS and a strong partnership with a chip manufacturer is the way forward. They need you build an ecosystem, right? Then why not a 1080p 8" gaming tablet to kick things off? An efficient OS which gets the basics right, but isn't as walled off as iOS. And great support.
With AMD looking to enter the ARM mobile market eventually, if they do a Nvidia with their mini GPUs, we could be looking at a scalable OS with scalable hardware. TVs, games consoles, mobiles, walkmans, even some cameras. All should be able to run it.
It shouldn't take massive funds - they could start slow. Restructuring is nearly complete, why not have a small but amazing team work on it?
We've heard something has been in development for months now, but 2014 has to be the year, many other newcomers are entering the scene.

BRAVIA business is the next to go. Yesterday in the earnings release conference Kaz mentioned spinning off the TV division (and other divisions) is the "right solution". |

Samsung has been failing for the past 3 years at pushing a whole bunch of mobile OSs. Sony may succeed with VITA or PS, but I wonder if they will do it. PS is a good and well known OS with its mature market of games and apps, but scaling it all over the place can be a challenge. |

And just why is Android not the way forward? What problem is there with Android? It seems to be doing well for Samsung. And more importantly, what is the alternative? Hint: it's definitely not the doomed Windows Phone, and Apple will never allow other manufacturers to license iOS. Again, what is the alternative?
Please don't talk about developing another OS. Number 1, we don't need another one, Android is getting incredibly capable and polished. Number 2, even Samsung with their unlimited resources, in partnership with Intel, has not been able to get a competing OS off the ground. There is no way Sony could manage this in their current condition. Plus, there is an economic phenomenon where people prefer imperfect competition. Coke and Pepsi sell more soft drinks than anyone else. Intel and AMD pretty much split the CPU market between them. Android and iOS make up 90+% of the smartphone market. It's just a fact that once you have a couple of good, established competitors in a market with high barriers to entry, the market usually just will not support another competitor, regardless of how good the product is. Microsoft is finding this out the hard way with Windows Phone and Surface. The products, by most accounts, are good, especially the Nokia phones, and God knows they've poured billions of dollars into attempts to increase their market share, but the public just ain't buyin' it. Good products and lots of marketing. What's the problem? They got there too late. Android and iOS had already split the kingdom and were ensconced on their separate thrones, and everyone had picked a side. For whatever reason, there's just not room for three big players.

I really hope Sony to use this E line to produce Xperia x Walkman phones... They really need to push the walkman brand MORE even with their phones  |

It's just weird that the E1 was just announced and there's already an E2.

Maybe it's the E1 and E1-dual?
A bit sad VAIO is being sold off though, still love my old VAIO Z. It was marvelous, before ultrabooks came out on the market.
Would like to see higher res on the new tablet Z since it helps text, but S805 only has 40% higher gpu power than the S800, not sure if it is powerful enough to push a higher res display smoothly? If still using S800, maybe 1080p is still better...
I do hope the new tablet Z has front facing speakers though, now I need it to put it in a stand so that sound is reflected forwards from the side speakers. |
