Sony Wants in on the iPad-like Tablet Business [Sony to Launch Its Own Tablet Soon?]

5 Feb 2010

The iPad is already an innovative device despite its shortcomings. The gadget has resurrected the tablet business and Apple’s main competitors are going to follow this new trend and launch their own tablets soon. One of them is Sony and the company might launch its own iPad-like tablet in the near future. Should we assume that a Vaio tablet is on the way as we speak?

Nobuyuki Oneda, Sony’s CFO said during a news conference held to present Sony’s quarterly financial results that the tablet market is “a market [they] are also very interested in.” He went on to say that Sony has the skills to make such a product and we tend to believe him. Sony makes some pretty decent computers so why not make a tablet too? But will a Sony tablet be better than the iPad? Will it also be as affordable as the iPad?

Oneda also acknowledged the fact that time-wise Sony is just a little behind Apple but that is not necessarily a problem. We’ve seen so many tablets already announced for 2010 but there’s still space for some more. By the end of the year we will be able to judge which manufacturer has truly been able to establish itself as the tablet maker that’s worth following. And that’s not necessarily going to be Apple even if Cupertino opened the doors to unleash this whole tablet frenzy.

The future Sony tablet will have its own store for music, movies, games and eBooks. What’s more interesting is that Sony already has a reader, the Sony Reader Daily Edition which has been conceived in order to fight the Kindle. Will Sony ditch the readers in favor of the upcoming tablets? Oneda said that the Daily Edition “has received great acclaim and [they] plan to expand sales going forward.” In other words Sony’s upcoming unnamed tablet will also compete against Sony’s readers when it becomes available in stores later this year.

It sounds like that really old song…Still Not A Playa by Big Punisher & Joe….

[Joe]
whoahhaoohhH! Yeahheahhaa
Don't wanna beeeee a playahh (T.S.)

[Intro/Chorus: Joe, Big Punisher]

[Joe] I don't wanna be a playa no more
[Pun] I'm not a playa I just crush a lot
[Joe] But Big Punisher, still got what you're lookin for
[1 - Pun] For my thugs, for my thugs
[2 - Pun] Uptown baby, uptown
[Joe] Don't wanna be, don't wanna be – I don't wanna be a playa no more
[Pun] I'm not a playa I just crush a lot
[Joe] But you know Big Punisher still down by law
[Joe] Who's down to crush a lot

[Big Punisher]
Hey yo I'm still not a playa but you still a hater
Elevator to the top hah, see you later, I'm gone
Penthouse suite, Penthouse freaks
In house beach, french countesse, ten thou piece
Rent-out lease, with a option to buy
Coppin a five-oh Benz for when I'm not, far up in the sky
Puffin the lye, from my Twinzito
Up in the Benzito with my kiko from Queens, nicknamed Perico
We go back like PA's and wearin PJ's
Now we reach the peakage, runnin trains for three days
Who wanna ride it won't cost you a dollar
whether soft or harder of course you still gonna holla
My my, I'm big huh, I rip my (prick) through your hooters
I'm sick, you couldn't measure my (dick) with six rulers
Hold up, chula, I'm all about gettin loot
But I knock that boot, if you out to get HOOF

[Chorus]

[Big Punisher]
I love from butter pecan to blackberry molass'
I don't discriminate, I regulate every shade of the (ass)
Long as you show class, and pass my test
Fat (ass and) breasts, highly intelligent bachlorettes
That's the best, I won't settle for less
I wanna ghetto brunette, with unforgettable sex
I lay your head on my chest, come feel my heartbeat
We can park the Jeep, pump Mobb Deep, and just spark the leaf
It's hard to creep since I found Joe
Every pretty round brown (hoe) wanna go down low
But this Boogie Down pro-fessional, I'ma let you know
Once I put the blows, get your clothes, cause you got to go
I could go downstairs, little brown hairs everywhere
"You nasty Twin!" I don't care
Round here they call me Big Pun, if you with the big guns
Thick tongue, known to make a chick (come)

[Joe and Big Punisher]
(In the) hot tub, poppin bubb-ly
Rubbin your spot love, got you screamin Punish me
But it don't stop, watch the Pun get wicked
When I (stick it) even Luke be like "Don't stop, get it get it"
[repeat 2X]

[Chorus w/o Big Punisher]

[Joe]
Boricua, morena, boricua, morena [3X]
No more rollin with an entourage
Unless it's Pun and the Terror Squad

Punisher, Punisher, Big Punisher
Punisher… Joe and Big Punisher

Boricua, morena, boricua, morena [6X]

could it be that your computer (or iTunes) resets it when you plug it in and it syncs? maybe it just wants to be in CAli

How much control ? not a great deal. We are all limited to some extent by the amount we have saved and the amount we earn.

I mean if you had $20 million, you would have complete freedom to do whatever you wanted, right?
