We are confident we have the skills to create a product.” He also added that “Time-wise we are a little behind the iPad but it’s a space we would like to be an active player in.”
The Apple iPad may have underwhelmed a lot of industry observers, but if Sony thinks it will have a market then you most certainly will be looking at a new market segment for multimedia and gaming with the iPad as its paragon.
