Grr, you make me feel silly for not checking if they were actually for sale. The Boston Sony Style store had the 350 and 650 on display. They didn't have the new, silver 900 yet, only the older, black model (on display).
I will have to admit, it seems like whatever made the touch screens all murky has finally been resolved. The touch-enabled pocket and "Touch" models had really nice, high contrast screens. Ironically, these new touchscreens seemed a bit less sensitive while handwriting. If you wrote too fast, it wouldn't track well. Slower use of the stylus seemed to help. I should have done a comparison with the black 900 but I didn't think to do it. I remember the older Touch reader being laggy, but precise. Maybe I'm forgetting. For typical navigation purposes or using the little onscreen keyboard, things were fine.
I broke my 505 some months ago (stupid accident), just a month or so before getting my iPad. The iPad (plus personal preferences) has deterred me from any other eInk readers, but these new Sony models have really caught my eye.
