I first purchased a Sony Walkman in 1985?! Yes 1985 and I was living in Brighton on the south coast at the time. I loved it and Sony became my brand of choice and this stayed that way for many years which included any portable music, any TVs and also seperate stack hifis, as we called them back then. Prices I remember are £50 (1985 Walkman that was Black with Green Strip), £600 (one TV 26" around 1989), £2,200 (TV DVD Home Cinema System 1999, Girlfriend bought), £1,100 (HIFI around 1988).
But since 1999, which technically I did not purchase anyway, the only thing I bought was a Sony PSP butthe whole UMD thing cheesed off a great many people, and companies! The PSP Go, or whatever it was called, I was told went down like a 'lead balloon' and this is probably because they reied to tie people down even further ... APPLE-STYLEE?! LMAO.
I am being unfair but only in the extent that it always goes the same way and this is what is wrong with the world and has been for sometime now.
Small company becomes big, care less about customers it once did as you have now acquired a Steve Ballmer (head of Microsoft) type character ... or three.
Once innovative are now becoming restrictive and the reason is always the same... MONEY FOR NOTHING, or OLD ROPE whichever you prefer. Something that unless your rich and powerful you get locked up for.
So your planning to can manufacturing TVs? Well maybe it is because there are many hoards of people like me who started deserting you over the last dozen years or so? So you stop producing TVs but who is to say that you stubborn insistence to stay with these tactics will not then result in you announcing OTHER things you will stop producing?!
Anyway you can counter this a little by pumping up all levels of a custom preset on the Equalizer to maximum ad this surprisingly does not distort the sound in anyway. On PowerAmp on my phone I only have to BREATHE on the touch-screen on the equalizer settings and the sound will distort?! Oh OK yes I am exaggerating but only a little that is the crazy thing! I wondered why in the hell it was included at all its far more trouble than it is worth it really is. I have spent night after night messing with the thing when all along I fialed to realise it was the European Union that had wasted many nights of my time I cannot get back...hmmm perhaps a legal case against them might be in order?!
I just wish that these corporates would get together and go throw themselves in a river, I do not know what they are teaching in Business Degrees lately but if these actions are of a result of that these Universities should be lambasted for this.
