---------------------------------------------------
It a move that mimics Nokia's decline tactics:
Too Little, Too Late. Wingman.

On September 12, Microsoft kicked off an iPad trade-in promotion, allowing Apple customers to swap their tablet for a gift card worth a minimum of $200. Fast-forward two weeks, and Microsoft is now offering the same promotion to iPhone owners, offering a minimum of $200 for those with devices that meet the gently-used trade-in requirement
The promotion is good for those who own an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 5 — earlier versions need not apply, so to speak. If the device is gently used, the owner will receive a minimum $200 gift card in exchange, with the rate possibly being higher, though Microsoft doesn’t go into detail about the various stipulations that could affect the rate. The gift card, obviously, is valid for Microsoft Store purchases.

AllThingsD: Ford's Mulally now heads list of Ballmer replacements
Sources tell Kara Swisher Ford (F) CEO and Steve Ballmer confidante Alan Mulally
"has vaulted to the forefront" of the list of potential candidates to succeed Ballmer as Microsoft's (MSFT) CEO.
Though Stephen Elop (set to join Microsoft through the Nokia deal) is still
reportedly a top candidate, Swisher's sources claim there has "been a shift in recent weeks toward Mulally," who has shown a knack for corporate turnarounds during his time at Ford and Boeing (but hasn't worked for a tech company).
Mulally reportedly advised Ballmer on Microsoft's big reorg (I, II).

Sony, who recently released new Walkman 'players" with touch screens, is
trying desperately to Get-In-The-GAME.
trying desperately to Get-In-The-GAME.
A camera for your cameraphone:
Sony Cyber-shot QX10
and QX100 review
The $499 QX100, and its cheaper sibling, the $249 QX10,
were made for this moment.
They’re designed to be companions to your smartphone, offering a huge boost in image quality along with all the sharing and editing features you already use on your phone. They connect to any Android or iOS device — finally, a decent way to take pictures with your iPad — and promise the best of both a point-and-shoot and a cellphone. They look like lenses, and act like cameras.
---------------------------------------------------
Like Microsoft and its Windows 8 phone,
Sony is looking real hard for a market in mobile,
and is not ashamed to try Apple premier Prices....
Good Luck.
Wingman.
