Actually, Apple head-hunted the Sony Vaio designers to design the current crop of Apple laptops.

ag: i know that apple headhunted sony vaio engineers but that was after they released the powerbook, it was reputedly for the next revision in the design.

i am designer and i have followed both companies industrial design quite closely and although i understand that sony have done some good stuff in the past, its usually quite different in philosophy from apple. sony is much more about putting lots of features in an attractive package and not neccesarily simplicity of form and usablity which is apple's strong point. i just see it as another example of sony losing there way. the company is in a mess, its become too big and focussed on selling boxe, rathers than pushing forward in areas like design and innovation. too stifled by propriety formats such as atrac and the memory stick. it has also failed to realise that the digital player business is about a complete service, not just putting out endless models in the hope that one of them will interest potential purchasers.]]>May 5th 2006 6:08AM
