Black or silver glossy case. Easy to slip out of hands
|
No, it's not easy to slip out of my hands. I've never even come close to it slipping.
Yes, the 505 may weight 9oz. But it's also not made of cheap plastic.

1-1.5 sec page turning time ( screen update) through black and white "splash" on the screen. After 40-50 pages of reading, eyes get tired due to this effect. Number of artifacts from the previous page left on the next page, causing "dirty" marks.

That is all wrong. We don't get tired eyes and we don't get ghosting with Vizplex.

4 hours from supplied power adapter. Does not charge from PC
|
The AC adapter is not supplied and according to Sony it's about 2 hours to charge from AC and 4 from USB.

The 505 DOES charge from the computer if enough charge is left. I can plug my 505 into the USB port on my computer and it will start to charge.

No "Jump to page #" function.

The 505 has it built into the firmware to be able to jump to a specific page.

Only 160 titles fit internal memory
|
The 505 might be able to hold more then 160 eBooks depending on the size and it does have 128meg minimum ram. 160 is not a fixed figure.

Expensive Memory Stick or miniSD (adaptor (sold separately) required)
|
The 505 can take regular sized SD memory up to 2gig. So you don't need miniSD and the adapter. Again more misinformation.

Requires to buy limited number of books in Sony store

I can buy LRF from Fictionwise and Baen. I can even download some free LRF from Baen no problem. Plus, The 505 can read any ofd the "free" eBooks the JetBook can in the exact same format.

BBeB (Sony format), .TXT, .PDF

As well as MP3, JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP and RTF. Way to go leaving these out.
They also don't mention that you can buy a 2 or 3 year accidental breakage warranty.
Sony also has tech support via a toll-free number. Again way to go not giving complete information.
Because they say power adapter is an accessory, we know they are comparing the 505. Also memory sticks and SD cards plus the enhanced covers are all optional accessories as well.
All I can say is JetBook botched the comparison big time. They got so many thing just plain wrong or left things out. The biggest thing they left out is how it costs more then the 505. Plus the placement of the page turn buttons are also not ergonomically well placed. The 505 has easier to access page turn buttons when used with one hand.
