This bit is interesting:

Sony products too often run on Sony-only formats, alienating many consumers. Older versions of the Walkman can download music from the Internet using only Sony's Connect software, which is incompatible with the more popular MP3 format on iPods.

Sony "must more willingly embrace industry standards," Sir Howard said.

C'mon Sony - drag and drop recording and no DRM silliness please.

Funny how they say "older versions of the Walkman" need Connect software. So do the newer ones! Connect and SonicStage are different implementations of exactly the same thing: OpenMG.
