Sony to release a new handheld and tablet to compete with Apple iPhone and iPad

Once there was a company, a company which completely dominated the electronics landscape, a company which was the pioneer of portable music and gave us the Walkman. For a company with such strong pedigree, we have really not seen any gadget which has redefined the post-2000 world from Sony Electronics. Sony still enjoys a lot of respect and love in the gaming console market, but companies such as Apple have completely taken away their share in the portable music player and are threatening their mobile phone business. Sony is keen to catch up with its rivals and plans to release a new family of handheld devices to meet that goal. It will be interesting to see if Sony's new efforts would be enough to tempt the Apple users to switch to Sony.
