Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Another feature of the new reader being touted by Sony is
its touch screen capability, which allows users to flip pages by
sliding a finger across the display.
The main issue being aired by the Sony PRS-700
detractors (aside from the name) is that it does not have wireless
connectivity. Downloads are limited to USB connections to computers or
via Memory Stick Duo media or SD memory cards.
Unlike Amazon, Sony is not in the business of selling books but it
should be grateful that its competitor is helping to make the e-reader
market.
Outside the US,where Amazon is not even a player yet, Sony has an opportunity to press its advantage.
The question is, however, can Sony or anyone else ultimately compete
with the likes of Amazon in the e-reader market any more than MP3
makers can compete with Apple in the portable music space?
That question should be answered when Amazon gets round to giving the rest of the world a bit of Kindle love.
With the way the US economy is going, Amazon may find that it is in its
best interests to take Kindle global sooner rather than later. We can
only hope.
