Howard Stringer Sony iPhone Delay
Howard Stringer told Walt Mossberg yesterday that their camera image sensor facility in Sendai was affected by the recent tsunami/quake.  He said something to the effect of getting image sensors to companies like Apple will be delayed. Quote: “Our best sensor technology is built in one of the (tsunami) affected factories.  Those go to Apple for their iPhones…or iPads.  Isn’t that something?  They buy our best sensors from us?”

Sony doesn’t currently make any sensors for Apple, though there are rumors that the company was dumping OmniVision for the iPhone 5.  Perhaps this delay is a factor in the delay of the iPhone 5.
