The reporter says that Stringer, the chief of Sony, is trying to make
everything connected, but that the Kindle may already have trumped the
Reader:

``The danger for Sony is that it is already too late. Amazon has
grabbed the market-leading position from Sony and established a
stronger brand, which is what happened with the iPod and the
Walkman. Sony never managed to recover, despite trying repeatedly to
match Apple.''
