    Sounds good to me, and it'll stop getting mixed up between different OS's..

    Would make a huge change for Sony not to use proprietary software and i'd welcome it, might even consider them if i ever get round to replacing my iRiver.

    Clever move by Sony and only a good thing for the Android platform that it spreads it's wing's over multiple devices.

    Nice to Android speading across platforms. Mobile Phones, MP3 Players, Netbooks/Laptops. It can only make Android better as an OS and could really lead to some nice synergy between the devices if users decide to go with a full Android setup in the home someday.

    I think it is a good thing, at least for consumers and Sony as people these days seem to want every device to be able to do everything. Personally I don't see the need for my MP3 player to do anything other than play Music and podcasts. If I wanted to play games or watch a movie I would use a dedicated device such as my PSP, Laptop or TV.
