Yah, no kidding.

And, as Sao also pointed out, Sony is in no mood to invest in products which are marginal to its main brand when its current financial situation is intense. Good for Sony for releasing this touch technology first in an e-reader, and for pacing Amazon in releasing Pearl e-ink. But it has been contracting its business in the past year, withdrawing from markets and sales channels, and not expanding the platform to embrace tablets and smartphones.

This is a thread on Kobo Touch and everything we can see suggests it will do well with its implementation. As the market continues to grow, there is certainly room for more than one player and platform. But as 2010 proved, it's not enough to simply show up -- you have to push the envelope and continue to give your current future customers ongoing improvement. Kobo is clearly doing that.
