Connect Trouble

In January, Sony announced that it would be revamping its Connect service with new functionality, inlcuding the ability to download movies, videos, and games to the PSP. Sony at that time set March as a launch time for it and nothing happened.

According to News.com, Sony Corporation of America chief technology officer and Connect advocate Phil Wiser is on his way out of the company, effective Friday. Wiser will reportedly be replaced by Sony senior vice president Steve Bernstein. The article also details a frequently contentious relationship between Sony and Kinoma, an external media company whose chief executive had been put in charge of the Connect project.
