"As previously reported, Sony flash-based digital audio players will support the MP3 file format by the middle of next year, the executives said. The company also is considering the use of other formats in its devices, according to Stan Glasgow, president of Sony Electronics consumer and commercial sales. The look and feel of the software used with its devices and its music download service, Sony Connect, also will undergo major improvements, according to Glasgow who declined to comment on the details of the changes."

And the truth shall set you free. Mark this day on your calendar as the day Sony got a clue. The company has finally realized that it lost the digital media format war. ATRAC is a dead inferior technology that no one wants. And if Sony wants to take on iPod, it has to rethink its product strategy. NOW! Watch out, Apple. 8)
