Looks like two of your favorite Japanese electronic component providers will be combining forces...

I wonder what will happen to all the respecitive overlap of products (such as capacitors)?

I hope they keep Sanyo discrete-semi (transistors and the like) as well as some of the cap lines, including OSCONs.

Re: Panasonic buys Sanyo

They may consolidate the product lines and rename them like Panasonic OSCON for example or they may still operate under the Sanyo name.

Although as we've seen with the AT&T and Cingular merger the most popular name won out.

That was so annoying for a whole year I see stupid commericals AT&T is now Cingular then for another year I see Cingular is now AT&T.

I wonder who got caught with their pants down on the first choice?
