hum

but what will be the use for apple to purchase Sony ...

ipad/iphone/ipod is all they need !

iBravia TV's, iXBR TV's, iRay movies, iStation, iPSN, iPSEye, iMove, iEyeToy, ixPlosion audio... the possibilities are endless. :)

Apple can already make these things without Sony. Apple doesn't want to get into TVs and most of this other stuff because it is such a low margin business which is contrary to their business model.

Except they already have a very loyal Apple base, and they could get them to buy TVs etc, especially if they had integrated Apple TV so they could compete more directly with the recent Sony google TVs

Buying Sony would be a way for Apple to make their consumers buy more products from them, which means more money and everyone likes more money
