I wonder how much of an extra expense this adds to the camera. I still personally feel this is a very strange addition to be part of the camera itself, rather than an attachment. Surely there are other ways they could add value for the consumer than add a feature which I will assume (for now anyway) very few people will use. Time will tell though. Personally I'd prefer if they integrated a walkman for those long hikes instead
Actually I don't fully agree. I do kinda. They have their hits and misses with retail customers. But their long standing tradition of servicing their wholesale oem part customers with very very fine quality devices while at the same time producing lots of often mediocre crap for their retail consumers while riding on the hype bandwagon "we produce great CCDs (true)" or "we invented the CD (also true)", but ultimately delivering a poor product, like my dvd player which doesn't start properly if the display is dimmed when you turn it off.
This is an attack on the company itself not on the camera which may turn out to be very fine indeed. But the trend of consistent quality stopped in the 90s.

So in essense.. we are in agreement.... Sony (just like all brands) have their hits or misses...
