Sony and Apple may be the two most creative companies on the planet. I say this not just because I am a Vaio user, and a Mac follower. The marketing, design and PR around the iMac, the Sony-Ericsson phones, and the Walkman are stories we relate around campfires and boardrooms. (Did you know it’s the 25th anniversary of the Walkman?)
Then there’s iTunes, a whole new ballgame, and there’s the NW-HD1 (extreme left image) from Sony, the iPod killer –at least from Sony’s point of view.
No matter what device emerges or what download service grabs the limelight (even Wal-Mart has an $.88 cents a tune download service, and Microsoft isn’t far behind) you can trust Steve Jobs to always generate the kind of PR that translates into sales.
