Under the Sony slides it says: "Screen images simulated. Product images representative."
Just to cut the "Are the screenshots real?" discussion....
Btw, the new readers without Pearl panels would be a waste of Sony's shareholders money.
Every review of the devices would mention them using a previous (read obsolete) generation of e-ink panels.
Btw, I am their customer if they deliver the Pearl panel, touch screen without readability impact, WiFi (I can live w/o 3G) and an acceptable price. Maybe smudge resistance, too. Also, it should play at least PS2 games... Only the last one is a joke.
