If it's Apple Vs. Sony, that's one battle I don't see Sony winning. Not even Microsoft is going to win that one.

The problem with Stringer's strategy is no one wants a Walkman. Not even one that plays video. The iPhone/iPod touch play video just fine, if people want their video fix they're not going to carry around a seperate device. 

When Apple won the MP3 market war they won more than just that. Now that iPods/iPhone have larger screens, video just comes naturally to that. 

..try the  ''walckman x''  and then tell me,..

 

 

Yeah ... and? 

There are plenty of touchscreen devices out there, people look at them for about 10 seconds and then end up buying the iPod/iPhone instead. 

I don't even think that design is all that great. The screen doesn't look that big and the "marble" accents give it a 1980s feel. It looks thicker than an iPod touch. The OLED is cool though. 

The tough thing about competing with the iPhone/iPod Touch now is the App Store for Apple is a runaway train. There are thousands of apps and features on the iPhone as a result whereas companies like Nokia and Sony have like maybe 5% of the same type of functionality. As the slogan goes "there's an app for that ... there's an app for that" etc. etc. 

iPhone 2 is likely to trump this pretty easily.
