As Sony is virtually stockless (is that a real word?) online for the 650, I sent my son (who lives near the La Cantera Mall in San Antonio) over to the Sony store where they had the red 650 in stock. After a bit of confusion (the store manager wasn't familiar with the credit coupon and was asking for the device to be traded in - *grin*), all proceeded per plan and my son is bringing the Sony home for the holidays later this week. I was intending it as a gift for my wife but she's been anti-technology (until she needs it - like when she decided she hated her Acer and I swapped it out for a PowerBook and she's quite happy now). Maybe the red Sony will be mine!
