It was a dead weight for the company.
They can always buy it back and revive it in a big way, should their financial fortunes turn enough, for them to be profiting in the Billions of dollars. Until then, they need to shed as many extra pounds as they can. |

^Now that confuses me even more 
If Sirius is Z2, is D6503 also Z2? And what's D6603 then?

While i respect the info that is shared here, i don't believe that a second 2014 flagship will be announced before IFA. i also don't believe that sirius will be named Z2. both would be bad marketing decisions and cause confusion to consumers. |

AFAIK, Sirius is Z1-2-3-X
BTW
From XperiaBlog
http://www.xperiablog.net/201[....]A+XperiaBlog+%28Xperia+Blog%29
"Sony has updated the Album application to a new build version 5.4.A.0.12, following on from the last 5.3.A.0.24 build. Judging by the jump in number i.e. 5.3 to 5.4 it should be a reasonable update. Sony says that the update brings support for Android 4.4 KitKat (could Sony be launching KitKat firmware sooner than expected?) as well as PlayMemories Online and other software improvements. You can download the apk here. "
Could it be that the 4.4 Kit Kat update will land sooner than expected?

This could explain something:
According to Doomlord at xda there 'will be atleast 5 devices (operator/region variants included) based on the D65xx (Shinano board)...'

How does a company manage to keep its low end and mid end devices secret, but completely reveals its high end devices?
OT
You people asking for Sony to sell VAIO are crazy. For pocket change? They should refocus it, that's all.

Coz high-end's are the most anticipated ones... most peoples don't care about low/mid... and even there's peoples are interested in these high-end's where they won't actually buy any

Agree, VAIO are selling bad coz there's something wrong and Sony should fix it... see what the market want's actually and do it... they should also think about lowering the cost of their laptops to make them compete against other major competitors...
I think Sony might also think about making another lower cost brand as now most peoples want low cost laptops and this is where other's like Lenovo, ASUS, Samsung, Dell, HP is doing well there...
But for me, I liked the idea of having OS X on VAIO laptop... those rumours of and almost deal between Apple and Sony and Steve Jobs was really interested in VAIO line up... they will be a great hit !! at least we will have a 13" laptop with more than 2-3 USB ports

It will be a dark day when the vaio line is sold, I feel the pro 13 might be my last Sony laptop if this is true :/
I have a feeling an 8inch tablet from sony running windows is dead now if the vaio line is sold.
I have updated the album app, feels faster and more responsive than before. I doubt kitkat is imminent, I can see it coming in march at the earliest. I'd rather Sony release proper update with the new camera algorithm rather than rush it and leave things out. |
