So in June this year already, Sony and Sharp inked a joint venture deal to produce LCD TVs together. And today, the Nikkei (Japan's biggest business publication), reports that the two former arch rivals decided to further expand their alliance.]]> http://hippestphone.com/report-sony-and-sharp-shake-hands-in-another-lcd-tv-deal/feed/ 0
