I’ve blogged before about the war within Sony between its consumer-electronics division and its entertainment unit. In a nutshell, electronics wanted to bring an iPod-like media player to market; entertainment whined, “But people will steal our movies and muuuuuuuuuuusic.”

Boing Boing points to a piece from the AP, in which a ranking Sony exec admits his company made a mistake.

Huh. Guess what, Sony. The market’s now three years ahead of you.
