Look out Apple!
Sony, the company behind the most incredible consumer entertainment products, is planning an online music download store according to this Dow Jones story (although they have to do something about the not so consumer friendly name). Apple always wanted to be the Sony of computers. Seems like Sony's going to be the Sony of computers, entertainment and the Internet if the first few products (such as the beautiful Sony Clie PEG UX-50) are any sign of things to come.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Sony Dream World exhibition, which opens Saturday, Mr. Stringer said the service would be called the "Net Music Download Initiative."
...Sony Music Entertainment, a unit of Sony, is the world's second-largest music company after Vivendi Universal SA's Universal Music [which yesterday announced the slashing of CD prices in an effort to jumpstart slowing CD sales worldwide].
