Apple is stepping up enforcement of its in-app purchasing policy for e-books, bringing it into conflict with Sony and, potentially, Amazon and Barnes & Noble. – Apple is ratcheting up its policy enforcement for e-book apps, stating
flatly that app-makers such as Sony and Amazon must offer in-app purchasing
through Apples online storefront if they want to make e-books purchased on
other devices available on Apples mobile devices.
That has the potential …

Sony and Cisco continue to update their respective Bloggie and Flip lines of ultra-portable camera devices in spite of the growing popularity of smartphones and portable media players with camera modules and robust imaging software. Despite the latter’s rise, dedicated cameras such as Bloggie and Flip offer some distinct advantages for shutterbugs. First, there’s ease of use: One button turns these devices on, one big button records, and a USB port uploads images and video to your PC and Mac.Second, many dedicated devices on the market shoot images and video at high resolution. For example, the Bloggie Touch can shoot video in 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, along with 12.8-megapixel still images. The Flip Ultra HD boasts 1,280-by-720 resolution, along with a slimmer body than previous iterations. But with smartphones adding new visual software and more powerful camera modules on a quarter-by-quarter basis, will dedicated cameras such as the Bloggie and Flip eventually find themselves shunted to the dustbin of dead tech? That’s a question the marketplace will decide. – …

Japan’s lack of bold business leaders
THE Walkman changed the way people listened to music, especially on the go. Introduced by Sony in 1979, the portable cassette-tape player is finally being discontinued in the Japanese market. The device will remain in production in China and sold in some other places, although Sony will not say how many it still sells or why it bothers to make Walkmans at all in the age of the iPod and smartphone.
Whoever buys them, the numbers are unlikely to add much to the more than 220m Walkman cassette-players already sold. Yet this pioneering product was almost never made in the first place. Sony’s co-founder, Akio Morita, had to battle with his own engineers and executives who argued that a tape-player without a recording function would never work. “Everybody gave me a hard time,” Morita wrote in his memoirs in 1986. In the end, though, the boss had his way. …
