The latest issue of Wired has a profile on Rosen. She says that many in the 
music industry see her as "too soft". So, that probably tells you what we are 
likely to see from her successor, i.e. somebody who is even less reasonable. 
But Wired also has an article about the straddle Sony is in as a hardware 
producer and a record company. They now look at the Ipod and think that 
should have been their technology. But they couldn't produce it, because it 
would have put them in conflict with the music side of their business. This 
straddle is one of the things that makes it impossible for the record 
companies to win. There are just too many good reasons to keep coming up with 
hardware and services geared toward digital music.
