Sony is planning the launch of a new broadband entertainment service it calls ScreenBlast, which will utilize elements of Apple's Final Cut Pro software to replicate a movie studio or music recording studio on the Web. The Web site will launch in the Fall, and offer a $170 suite of editing tools for use in conjunction with the service.

Here's the quote:
"The service is aimed at 18- to 24-year-old ``early adopters'' of high-speed, or broadband, Internet access and people comfortable using video and audio editing tools such as Apple Computer's Final Cut."
Looks like someone read this too quickly, no?
The tools they ship on a Vaio suck pond water. They are inferior to iMovie, let alone FCP. I have a feeling that Sony and Apple are going to get closer as time goes on.
I have a feeling that Sony has no interest in getting closer to Apple as time goes on...
I have a feeling that Sony will copy Apple, as they already have begun shipping IEEE1394 enabled machines with DVD-R. They could be developing software that feels and works like FCP, but runs on everyone's favorite OS. *shudder*
The article only compares the Sony site to editing tools _like_ FCP.
Why is it that MacNN has degraded to a Press Release duplication bot? I highly doubt any intelligent humans work there, maybe an intern who monitors press releases and does the magical command-C-command-V editorial wizardry that appears to becoming standard.
Even Slashdot gets stuff right _some_ of the time. Yeesh.
Nah, slashdot is right pretty much the same percentage of the time you'd expect from a random number generator. MacNN hasn't quite gotten that bad yet, but they do seem to be trying.
I don't care how broadband someone's connection is. It's not enough to edit video over! Oh let me just preview my video and see if there's a little mistake or two. Gee, it's only a 32 gig download...

final cut pro
the article only mentions that it's aimed towards people who are used to using apps such as final cut pro. i highly doubt it'll actually "utilize elements" of final cut pro, unless you mean that it'll borrow some ideas from it.
