This just demonstrates that Sony want mobile as a part of their business. The time to get out was a couple of years back, when it could have been cheaper than restructuring. If mobile is still not profitable in a year or two, then I think they'll re-evaluate.
yup its the only sony producted I use... used now I guess since another company owns it
MS only sold off its nokia part. The team behind surface is still working on a phone.Ironic that Sony still haven't sold off it's mobile division though... while it's Microsoft who just called it quit.
It's about consoles. This thread is absolutely about consoles. Right?
I'm not sure the word "only" applies when you're finalising the write off a $7Bn acquisition from three years ago and cutting lose 1,850 people. On the plus side, this was a bargain disaster compared to Google buying Motorola and no doubt Microsoft have learned a lot.
O/T but not really. Many of the useful patents were SEP which were under standards board RAND terms. The vast majority of the Motorola patent portfolio were not overly relavent to modern smartphones and patent negotations often come down to numbers of relavent patents - a bit like the nuclear arms race.
Vegas is far more capable than your pissant Movie Maker or any Android or cheap iOS editor. $400 is a normal price for a piece of software like that. It's not meant for a soccer mom to throw her phone on her PC and join some clips together with a few blends.
