Convergence
[Archived in Entry, Sony Home Theater]

„Sony is leading the charge - they are building IM capabilities into the Playstation 2 , and they're teaming with IBM and Toshiba on the "cell" processor , which may serve as the basis for the PS3 and seems to have the potential to serve as the basis for a wide array of internetworked consumer electronics. Only Sony has the breadth of hardware (computers, game consoles, home theater components, etc.) to really see this convergence thing through. This positions Sony very well not only for making a single device that acts as the "digital hub" for a household (to use a phrase coined by another major convergence player, Apple) but also the "spokes" to be attached to that hub.“

„Most industries go through a fairly predictable evolutionary cycle: a period of build-up, growth in number of players, increasing competition, improved productivity and pricing adjustments, consolidation to a smaller number of bigger players, possible break-up of some large players, and then either additional growth of niche and vertical market players or some sideways convergence with a related industry. The Web has served to speed up the process, and is itself a complicated example of industry change.“http://www.infotoday.com/it/mar99/viewpoint.htm - Cached

„By the time PSP comes to market there will be a lot of other players in the portable media space to do video and audio (that will probably be hard disk based, meaning I can schlep a lot more content around) that will also include games as part of the feature set. Price will also be a major factor to the PSP success as well as the price of the content. While PSP looks strong there are a lot of things that Sony will need to get right if PSP will be as successful as PS1 and PS2.“http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/analysts/gartenberg/archives/ 2003_07.html - Cached
„Vertically, there have been complicated rules about whether a single company can own both TV and radio stations, and more rules about owning a newspaper. Now the FCC has a "diversity index," weighting ownership of TV, radio, newspapers, etc. At the end of the day, they said that there are three types of markets: at risk, small to medium, large ones.“http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/mtarchive/ 002520.html - Cached

„Toshiba's rather pinkly and fluffily named Feminity range features a series of Bluetooth-networked appliances controlled by a touch-screen terminal with voice recognition. The whole lot hooks up to the web, so your fridge (which naturally records what's in it, and the best-before dates) can look up recipes, set the microwave for you, and send a shopping list to your cellphone; conversely, you can look up what’s in the fridge via your cellphone to avoid those costly and annoying double purchases of caviar and champagne. The washing machine can be set via the terminal, too, meaning that you can tell it what you’re putting in it and have it do the rest rather than ineptly tweaking endless knobs and having everything turn out a pale shade of pink.“http://www.dottocomu.com/b/archives/ cat_japan_tech.html#002307 - Cached
