...Trinitron TV and PlayStation, among other breakthrough products--has run adrift in an age of increasing competition and digital convergence. Its core electronics business, which accounts for more than 60% of revenues (but lost $339 million last year), has been beset by successful competitors, ranging from Sharp televisions to Kodak digital cameras, in virtually all its product lines. Most humiliating: Sony lost its leadership in portable music players by failing to capitalize on the popularity of MP3 files--a gap that Apple's iPod has exploited masterfully.

That does not mean the technology is anything like that of office photocopying. Kodak's machines can be 40 ft. long and cost from $11,000 to $5.5 million. Its pricey Versamark, for example, produces color prints in huge volume--at a rate of 1,000 ft. per minute. The magic: digital technology makes it possible to economically print custom copies of anything at almost any volume--books, flyers, bills...
