Like the Nook Color, the STR software barely scratches the surface of the equipment's capability, and like the Color, that software is built on Android. B&N's previous products have attracted a sizable developer community that is already turning some of their attention to the Touch. What that could mean in terms of reading are alternate PDF readers, RSS newsreaders, more formats like txt, rtf, and office docs, alternatives for library management, or even alternative stores like Amazon and Google Books.

So none of you knows which processor is used in the Sony PRS-650, but you
believe it is not as good as the Nooks?
Aha. I know it. I mean which processor is in the Sony. I don't know anything about them so I can't tell if it is inferior, superior or on par. But to say something because you guess... interesting concept that is.
The Sony is able to read txt and rft. No hacking needed.
Wifi, hm, to download books is a totally foreign concept for me. I do browse the bookstore with the laptop to make use of the bigger screen as I like to read excerpts or reviews about the books I am interested in. So it would be totally awkward to go for the reader, switch it on and search for the book on the little display just to download it via wifi, because that's just the thing to do to be a cool techno geek
You hope for a hacker to develop a PDF reader for your Nook. Well, I bought a functioning PDF reader right from the start. It is in the Sony.
Google books. Its in the SonyStore.
Better? Looks like better is a new term for wishful thinking on your part.
