Now, it seems that the angle will be through another manufacturer's tablet, in which case I will just arbitrarily guess Samsung. How successful this effort will or will not be, who knows, but it illustrates in clear contrast the points I was making earlier as to the low barriers to entry now that hardware and software share increasing commonalities, and the fact that digital distribution/delivery (and thus ecosystems) are going to be paramount. Sony especially better get its software/hardware act together and stop relying on folk from Google to advise their strategy.
