100% utterly irrelevant to the "are the screenshots real" discussion, given that the "are the screenshots real" discussion is about "are the screen shots really of an official Sony product presentation for their new ebook readers", not a discussion about "are the photos actually photographs of text on the photographed readers or was it photoshopped on later." The second is without question true-- 99.9% of images of electronic devices you see in official ads have the screen image photoshopped in place. The issue is-- why would Sony photoshop in such an
ugly block of text as an official image to try to show off their product?
Look at this-- use of that image is unjustifiable (pun intended.)

The fact that there is no extra layer of touch screen is already a humongous improvement.

Yes, but the fact that there is no extra layer of touch screen actually (IMHO) falls in line with the TMI reasoning of Amazon not mentioning that their new screen is a Pearl. Just like the majority of non-techie ebook reader owners who aren't reading Mobileread likely have no idea what the heck a Pearl screen is, I would think that the majority of them have no idea (or curiosity) of how a touchscreen works.
I may be wrong-- this may be official wording-- but I'm not willing to accept that yet.
