Rumor: Sony to make Windows Phone 8 devices later this year
Take this with a heaping cup of salt, but Tweakers.net is reporting from multiple sources that Sony is planning on joining the Windows Phone camp late in 2012.
Of course there are hurdles in the way such as Sony and that whole Playstation thing, but Sony is like any other massive corporation and its departments operate independently of each other, so we wouldn't actually cite that as a reason not to. Heck, we know that back in 2010 Sony-Ericcson seemed just fine with the whole notion even going so far as to make a few prototypes for early development. Obviously if SE had no problem with the Xbox system we don't see why Sony (sans Ericsson) would either.
Still, there's no hard evidence here for this just past experience so we'll just have to keep an ear out. Should Sony though decide to make some Windows Phones, especially with waiting for WP8 that could be a very good thing for customers.

A Sony Windows Phone 8 handset on the way?
Tweakers.net is hearing from multiple sources that Sony is planning to release a Windows Phone 8 handset at the end of the year.
Sony has of course dabbled before in Windows Phone, including having a prototype Windows Phone 7 handset, and as recently as this week told the Verge that their commitment to Android “… doesn’t eliminate us from examining other opportunities.”
They did however say “…the market has decided loudly on Android… “and that they were “… very much focused on Android, and we’re very confident in Android in its relevance and its prominence in the market.”
Hopefully if Sony did decide to commit resources to creating a Windows Phone 8 handset Microsoft will remain involved enough to keep them honest and release a handset worthy of the OS.
