My old 505 is pretty much dead. I have been looking at some of their other models but since I am in China, I won't have access to purchase until I get back to Canada in the summer. I don't want to buy a new reader only to have a newer model come out the next month. I realise that there is not a fixed date but historically, when does Sony release new readers?

As for the price, what is up with Sony Canada? Their prices are way higher than the US prices which is irritating since the Canadian dollar is currently trading at par or even higher. Not a big deal to make a trip to the States to get a cheaper price. Sometimes I don't understand Canadian companies.
