What's your particular Sony beef? I've found their products rock solid, on the whole. Rootkit and Sony Network otoh are the negatives I can think of. I'm typing this on the Xperia Z, I've got a S1 tablet, an Prs -101 e-reader, two mp3 players - and I'd recommend every single one.
My video edit suite was all Sony gear (camera, firmware deck, amp & speakers), never a problem - not so with the Sanyo, Panasonic or Philips stuff I've seen.
$1100 is a crazy price for this, then again I'd probably fall for it once in hand.
Something to do with suing users who use their owned hardware in a way Sony disagrees with.
Suck fony and all that. Honestly since the geohots case I've pretty much laughed and ridiculed sales people in stores who reccomend Sony products. None of them get it and they all think I'm a little bit crazy but sometimes you just have to stand up for what you believe in. Openness and being able to mod or hack my hardware shouldn't come with the chance of being sued. Its absurd and detrimental to society at large that they can get away with it.
Won't be buying. The over pricing I can deal with. Sony. Not so much.
