Unfortunately, there is no way the dimensions are correct. Real 950s have been in people's hands, and show that the height/width is roughly the same, while the thickness is smaller than the 900.

2 inches thick should be a huge clue that the dimensions are likely the packaging dimensions, not the unit itself. There hasn't been an E-reader shipped that is more than 1", let alone more than 2" thick.
Sony today posted more information about the PRS 950SC along with information already known about the PRS 650. The photos you mention are closer to reality than the dimensions originally posted by Sony. There are a few significant facts on the Sony web site: The thickness dimension is identified as .38 inches; the weight is 9.6 onces;apparently the unit initially is only in silver; and referring to the WiFi component of the new reader Sony states: "content outside the Reader Store and Google Books will not be available for wireless download" - only through your computer.
