- there is no feature in neither of them that is comparable to the collections

- does any of them have dictionaries for any foreign languages? This I have not seen in specs and thus suspect they don't

- None can play MP3s
They also don't have the same build quality.

The question is if this is going to matter to the average customers. I really think pricepoint, availability and screen technology are the biggest factors for most people considering a purchase.

I'd personally like the give Sony a kick up their backsides and tell them to start selling their bloody product so we don't end up too lonely
