Kazuo Hirai on Where He's Taking Sony

This is amusing...

 

What are your everyday go-to devices, the things you use?

Let’s see. First of all, an Xperia smartphone, Sony mobile communications. It’s an Android-based smartphone. I have two of them. I also have a traditional flip phone with me right here, a Sony flip phone that I use for just daily voice communication. At home, even this morning, I found out that the euro is 95 yen to the euro on my Bravia HX920, 55-inch. And last Friday we were out with some customers, and before we had dinner—this was out in the suburbs—we actually went to a park with a lot of orchids where we did some photo shooting of flowers. I took my Alpha 77 and my NEX-7. Those are fantastic cameras.

I can go on, but those are probably the ones I use most. Obviously on the plane I’ll use a Sony Reader, and one of the things that I touch every day at the office is the VAIO. When I go into meetings, I usually carry my tablet with me.

 

All of which he gets free. How many of those are first choice for consumers right now? are any of them?

Stop living off the past glories of the brand, the brand clearly needs rebuilding in the minds of consumers.  The way he talks in this paragraph is very odd and the irony of commenting on the Euro... he must have nearly choked, seeing as how he has predicted a 100 exchange rate average for the year. 

It's funny. As I was reading the interview, something told me you'd come in here and find a way to negatively twist it all.

I expected you to reply to this thread in that fashion. And, not surprisingly, you did.
