Sony stocks have seen moderate gains as of late, and will eventually return to a better status as Apple has been swimming in a sea of mystery. The fate of Steve Jobs has been perplexing bloggers, analysts and other tech-savvy consumers as of late. A shift of power in the consumer electronics industry could signal better performance for Sony, especially with future products like the Walkman Touch. However, with the Apple iPhone and iTouch platform grabbing the interest of geeks everywhere, will Sony regain ground in its desired areas like personal audio? There is still opportunity for growth in the Playstation front, especially with games like MAG (256 player in one server warfare), and other massive multiplayer environments.

The latest improvements to LCD TV’s, like higher refresh rates (hz) and other picture optimizations and colorations, are grabbing the interest of consumers.
