Just one week after Apple unveiled its iPad device, rival Japanese hardware marker Sony has announced plans to release a similar touch screen tablet.
At a press conference to discuss the company’s earnings, Nobuyuki Oneda, Sony’s CFO, said, “That is a market we are also very interested in. We are confident we have the skills to create a product.”
No date or price was revealed, but Sony has proven that it is one of the few brands able to back up such a bold statement. Of course the the real question will be: Can Sony create a mobile software store experience like iTunes or the new iBook store? Answer: Not any time soon.
