Sony iTunes' coming early 2010
Under a heavy crunch from an economy which has seen consumers cut back drastically on the hardware that Sony has concentrated nearly all its attention on, the company is searching for new ways to boost its sagging sales. And a primary answer that it’s come up with is to make a decisive move toward software, developing an online store for selling intangibles like music, movies, books and the gamut of applications that its consumer hard goods demand over the long haul. Basically, a Sony iTunes.

Kaz Hirai says getting new online service out to consumers in Q1 would be 'preferable'
Sony Computer Entertainment chairman Kaz Hirai has revealed the firm has pencllled in an early 2010 launch date for its new iTunes-rivalling online service.
As reported by MCV yesterday, Sony Online Service will offer consumers digital movies, music, games, books and more through a range of devices – including PS3, Bravia TVs and Blu-Ray players.
"[A launch] earlier in the year would be preferable," Hirai told Business Week in an interview after the announcement.
In the same press conference, Sony discussed its vision for PS3's 3D future – echoing comments from CEO Howard Stringer earlier this year.
Elsewhere, Reuters reports Hirai said he is confident sales of PS3 hitting Sony's official sales target of 13 million units in the year ending March 2010.
