Very easy RSS feed support. I just plug mine in now and it automatically sticks BBC news, CNN, Daily Record sports pages, Time straight on there. Free. All I needed to do was give the URLs to the Mobipocket software.
If we're comparing the 200 quid 505 to the 280 quid Gen3 then the case with the Gen3 is superior - although nobody has yet said the 505 case is anything but perfectly sufficient.
HTML support.

AFAIK:
Dictionary can be run on a standalone SD card. Pretty useless as I plan to use an SD card to store extra books anyway. Though really the lack of a dictionary isn't a dealbreaker for me.
Font support I don't know about. I know the Sony has levels of zoom but beyond that I don't know.
RSS through libprs500 sounds the same as that.
html2lrf converts html, don't know how much effort that would be or even how often I'll want to convert a html page.
Lighter is again a positive for the Gen3.
I don't know if those positives are worth £80 mind, or even worth losing the community support that seems evident with the Sony.
