PRS-500 info from Sony President Stan Glasgow
For those of you waiting for the Sony Reader PRS-500 it might not be all doom and gloom. An article over at Cnet reports information given to reporters, by Stan Glasgow. The head honcho and President of Sony Electronics saying:

Quote:
The U.S. division of the Japanese electronics giant next month plans to start shipping a personal-communication device called Mylo and an electronic book called the Sony Reader, Sony Electronics President Stan Glasgow said during a San Francisco interview with a few reporters Tuesday. The two devices are part of an effort by Sony to test the waters on new device categories.
The full piece can be found here. Sony have said the Reader will be with us by the holidays, so fingers crossed.

Let's hope that the Reader will get released on time; otherwise, Sony's president would look even more...idiotic?

Sony Reader Case
Well there may not be a Sony Reader out on the street, but there is a Sony Reader Case (the so called eMotion Jacket) sold by a company called M-edge (http://www.buymedge.com). They also have an iRex iLiad and eFlyBook jacket "coming soon".

"next month" means for October 1st to October 31st. Odds are that the launch date will be close to the latter.
