A great opportunity to go short on Sony. Apple wont buy them - Apple buy small companies that make successful products, which Sony has not for quite some time. Make money when the rumor pops and short.
Though some of Apple's acquisitions fit that description (Nothing Real and eMagic -- though it seems like they managed to kill off Nothing Real, which is sad), they've also bought a few companies that didn't have any products at all, like Raycer Graphics and... I can't think of the name of that PPC design firm they bought. They had products that sounded promising, but didn't exist yet... same with Raycer.
