Sony to Support MP3, but Only in Flash-Memory Players

CNET reports that Sony is going to start supporting MP3 audio files later this year; but with a big exception: they’re only adding MP3 support to their flash-memory-based players. I suspect it’s only a matter of time before they face reality and support it in their hard-disk-based players as well. They’re so far behind the iPod it’s embarrassing.
