I belive it was hugh (gapingvoid fame) who first spoke about mircrobrand- and this means that the enduser will drive the media. Ipod vedio now let's msm to inject User specific msgs into the song/vedio !! Actually media should now invest with apple.

You really have to wonder what's going on at Sony and how customer-unfriendly they've become. Just look at tbe Sony PSP. They are doing all they can to quell user's homebrew efforts and then they offer media manager software for an extra charge. If they haven't noticed, Apple offers iTunes for free with the purchase of an iPod. No wonder Apple is kicking their a**. You bring up a really good point that maybe they should divest their media assets, because it really is stifling their other businesses... Nice post.
