Good to see SONY get their pricing down to something a little more competitive. Be interesting to see what the underlying Andriod provides. Probably just made things easy as Android and it's Linux kernal is alreay made for low power devices, and if they are already investing in Android on phones etc. why not leverage the same skillsets found in your company (ie. Android Development).
Unsure if it has been posted, but Engadget also have a hands on:

I'm curious if there is any difference re: the Clear Touch and zForce IR touch sensors (with reference to that PCWorld chart). It's also sure is light, not that I can say my Kobo feels all that heavy.
Design wise I can't say I like the gloss much though. You see how reflective it is in the videos.
