But if you don't care about wi-fi on an e-ink reader, then it is unnecessary. It all depends what you are looking for. If there were wi-fi on my 350, I don't think I'd ever use it. On the other hand, if there were no full-screen touch on it, I wouldn't have bought it.



But a smart phone is supposed to be able to surf the web. Its integral to the device. There is nothing about wi-fi that makes it integral to an e-ink reader.

No it isnt, you can get HD channels using component cables

my point is price to feature, not necessarily your wants and needs.

For example if a car is fully loaded and the same model is value packaged and the value packaged is all you need, would you expect to pay more for the Value packaged model?

See what I mean.

I have no issues per say the 650 not having wireless, it's the fact Sony Charges a premium but yet leaves out the most common premium feature.

that's all.

650 is a tough price at $230.
