I can't believe it. What lousy marketing. Keeping a product a secret is a lousy way to make it sell. It's effing creepy and seems doomed to me. I'm really interested in the Sony 650 and 350. I want to compare specs. I want to know all the details. Nada.

I read here that they're out! But secretly. Isthis why their terrific TiVo crumbled? (It was far better than the TiVo product or the Humax Tivo).

Unbeeffinglievable.

I do searches and come up more with cameras and 505 ereaders because the market is underwhelmed.

The Sony site doesn't have much about it except mumbledy jumble.

I'm really interested but if they do such a lousy PR and marketing campaign, are they equally flighty about the product? Are they trying to decide just what size to make them, or whether or not to have Wifi or 3G? WTF?

I can get some ideas from here, but Google should be overwhelmed with info and links.
