Finally, would it be possible to use the Wifi on the 950 to go to non-ebook related commercial sites to download files or simply view pages?

What's the maximal capacity the 950 may receive using SD+MC cards? 9+32GB or more such as 32+64GB for instance (given that the cost is not to be considered)?

It is slimmer, at least it looks slimmer from the released pics. But the big difference is in weight, it's suppose to me much lighter.

The 950 will heave a Pearl screen, which means better contrast than the 900. And the new touchscreen is infrared, so no additional layer, which means no glare.

The 950 will have a basic web browser. I am not sure about the details there. And yes, the web browser will work only over WiFi, not over the 3g connection.

I don't know about max capacity. But have you tried loading even 10 Gb of ebooks on a card and putting it in a SONY device? They freeze to a standstill... so, max capacity supported is pretty irrelevant. Unless the firmware receives a major overhaul, you just can't put much stuff on a SONY reader...
