Sony

Sony Ericsson is a joint venture between Sony and Ericsson with a 50-50 partnership and was established in 2001. Before that, Sony had already launched their line of PDAs (which used Palm OS) the Sony Clie (which was an acronym for creativity, lifestyle, innovation, emotion). While the Sony Clie line has been discontinued completely as of 2005, it was and is still a vastly popular PDA and even though Sony has stopped providing support for the Clie one can still find drivers that are essential for full utility of the Clie very easily from sites created by Clie fans. Amongst the more popular versions of the Sony Clie were: Sony Clie T615, Sony Clie NR70V, Sony Clie N700, Sony Clie 700 Series, Sony Clie N600, Sony Clie SL10, Sony Clie NR70, Sony Clie SJ30, Sony Clie 500 Series, Sony Clie 600 Series, Sony Clie S300, Sony Clie NX60, Sony Clie T665, Sony Clie NX70V, Sony Clie SJ20 and the Sony Clie T415.
While Sony has made many innovations including the Sony Playstation (and its successor the Sony PlayStation 2 and the portable version Sony PSP) as well as various data storage formats such the Betamax system for video cassette players, DAT tape standard, Blu-ray Discs, UMD (Universal Media Discs), etc its innovations in the mobile industry have been fairly limited. However Sony Ericsson did introduce the first line of phones whose main feature was to play music (the Walkman series). Thus providing fair competition for portable music players such as the iPod, Creative Zen and Microsoft Zune. Among Sony Ericsson's many phones are the Sony Ericsson Z310a and the Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman both of which are fairly recent and quite popular.
