Amazon, however, have a history of surprise product announcements (nobody saw this new PW coming) so perhaps they will release a "Voyage 2". Time will tell.
Objectively, they have reduced the distinction between the Voyage and the PW. The Voyage is no longer quite so premium. This will inevitably make the Voyage less attractive to premium buyers. Will Amazon leave it like this, or add features to further differentiate the Voyage? The logical move would be to upgrade the screen somehow.
