Re: 8 Reason Why Alot ppls Hate Sony Mobile! [Sony Lovers Do Not Read this]
I hate them more due to their business conduct, even though their mobile division may not be closely related. Particularly Sony BMG, and closely tied with the MPAA. And things they did in the past and still do like supporting proprietary format to control cost and DRM. As well as heavily abusing copyrights. We already heard news about how Sony rip off artists by selling greatest hits CD without paying royalty, and how artists had to get the law on time. Another example, is the Sintel 3D video which is an opensource video made by the Blender community, which Sony used for show casing in one of their product and some how "gained the rights" over it and DRM take down the original video posted by the rightful owner. This is not a mistake by an automated DRM system btw, it required human interaction to initiate, they never made an apology. This is another reason why I'm glad Amazon bought up Twitch and not Google, because they messed up YouTube and handed it over to corporations. I don't think what Sony did with the PS3 and PS4 marketing and customer support (the huge database leak) and driving up game development cost was good for the gaming market either. There are lots more reasons. But if I was to buy an Android device from them, even if it was a newer device today, I wouldn't hope for too much updates down the line.
I admit I can't avoid all Sony products, since they have hardware parts (I admit their camera sensor are great), and tied in with a lot of music and video productions. But Sony cellphones and PlayStation consoles aren't in my buy list.
