Say It Aint So! Sony to Kill Qrio and Aibo?
The rumor mills are hard at work churning out speculation that Sony is going to kill it's robotics division. The fuel for this fire is an excerpt from Sony's Q305 fiscal reports that Akihabara News found. The text reads:New product development for AIBO has already ceased, and production is targeted to stop by the end of fiscal year 2005. However, after-sales support will continue. There will also be no new development for QIRO. R&D in the AI area which was developed in the AIBO and QRIO businesses will continue and will be deployed in a broad range of consumer electronics products.
You can view the page yourself on Sony's website. This seems like a rediculous move on Sony's part. What are they thinking?
Phillip Torrone at Make Magazine has made a tribute post to AIBO and QRIO with lots of great pictures. AIBO and QRIO, you aren't forgotten!
