With that said the Courier will probably dominate the "tablets" if they are all released around the same time.]]>Dec 17th 2009 10:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 18th 2009 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/
I can't wait to see the courier though as it sounds great for graphic designers. I can see why Sony wants to play the waiting game.]]>Dec 17th 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/
That's probably a bit harsh I know, but some people do indeed feel that way.]]>Dec 17th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/
Well, I'm one of those who felt that way, but to be fair, the PalmOS pretty much saw a decline soon after, so it was a decision that any business might have made.

I'm definitely looking forward to Sony's incarnation. They have one hell of a good aesthetics team for these things, even if the prices aren't always meant for most of us.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 17th 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/The eBook readers are meant to display books because they look great and don't cause eye-strain; I can't be happier with my Sony reader; Sony should focus on that right now, as well as an international ebook store release.]]>Dec 17th 2009 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/
I personally think the eReader market is faced by one very large problem which will prevent it from achieving real success in the mass market, and that is that as great as it is to be able to take your collection of newly purchased e-books around with you on a single device, you can't take your existing collection of physical books with you. Would the iPod have been successful if you could only listen to iTunes purchases on it, and not your existing CD collection?]]>Dec 18th 2009 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 18th 2009 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/
Exactly. I don't know why "tablets" and "readers" are becoming synonymous. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/sony-staying-conservative-with-reader-device-aware-of-current-t/Dec 18th 2009 2:49PM
