If not for PHILIPS inventions SONY would have no
products to sell...single gun CRT, Philips, CD, Philips,
anything Laser Optical is Philips...of course Bell Labs
started it with the Laser. Walkman...based on the
Cassette developed by Philips in the 60's..still in wide
spread use. CCD cam corders...CCD developed by Philips
and Bell labs seperately....Philips was inventing
ideas and products before the founder of Sony was even
BORN!...Philips is the worlds largest TV maker, largest CRT
maker, largest lighting making...Sony learned the art of
SELLing, not inventing...www.licensing.philips.com
