Well it's now March, the fabled month when the 650 was supposed to stop being backordered and when some predicted a new line of Sony eReaders would emerge. But now it's not just the 650 that's backordered at all retailers aside from Sony themselves but the 950 is backordered too. And 350 availability seems to be moving in a similar direction: fewer retailers are carrying this device than before, and while it used to run for 130, it is now hard to find one for less than 180.

Apple just announced the release of the iPad 2, but Sony hasn't announced any new eReaders. So I guess that means anyone who wants one of these elusive devices should buy one from Sony while supplies last. Imagine how you will feel if soon all models are backordered and the cheapest unit you can get is a 350 for 500!
