The Return of Sony

,----[ Quote ]
| At its heart, Android is "just" Linux. Sony's 
| no stranger to Linuxâthe PlayStation 2 and 3 
| both have dabbled with Linux support. But 
| Android is Linux-as-platform, a trusted and 
| understood consumer branding. (Or, you know, 
| that's the goal.) It is, as far as operating 
| systems go, as good or better than anything 
| Sony has ever cooked up themselves. Rather 
| than spending years on disparate software 
| platforms for each device, Sony's software 
| engineers could spend their time building 
| easy-to-use and beautiful user experiences on 
| top of a unified platform. (Remind me again 
| why the Sony Dash doesn't use Android?)

Many Sony appliances like TVs already run Linux. It's hardly advertised.
