For a little over 10 years Sony has been very unsuccessful in trying to emulate the success of the iPod and iPhone with their own products and have yet to do it. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about their efforts to convert the Mini-Disc into a portable music player, Sony's MP3 players or the PSP, by the time Sony brings a product to market they seem to be 2 to 3 years behind where Apple is; and have (quite often) made questionable anti-consumer decisions that act as a posion pill for the success of their system.

In my opinion, Sony would be more successful if they started asking the question "What doesn't the iPod/iPhone do?" rather than trying to emulate what the iPod/iPhone already does.
