Sony is probably getting cheap. They included a cover with the 900 but none will come with the 950. They allowed easy access to the battery of the 900 for user replacement, but appear to have not done that with the 950. Their new readers are nice, but build quality has definitely gone down while the prices have not. If they do not include the AC charger, then I would get a cheap after market one rather than the ridiculously high priced Sony one. I use my Blackberry 8900 charger and my Kindle charger adapter with my 350. I have several chargers for other devices that also work.
