The european and canadian and japan sony sites all have various models still available, not just the x50 but even the 505, which was a very quality ereader, just sans touchscreen. Is that unsold inventory or is it still made? Does it matter for the consumer's purposes?
Only the europeans have the T1 with pre order pricing information.
There's no way to tell what will ultimately be discontinued or not. Maybe sony is just making a big deal on its own USA website because it's trying to "get your ATTENTIONNNN!!!!"
and later on, when the T1 is for sale, so maybe will other models be as well.
I'm more curious about whether it really is android. All we have now is the "confirmation" that it is, anonymously, reported by engadget.
Reminds of homer simpson, web reporter (transcript from source snpp.com)
Homer: That lousy pothole. Why don't they fix it?
Bart: [walks in with a cookie and a glass of milk] I heard Mayor
Quimby spent the street repair fund on a secret swimming
pool for himself.
Homer: Get out. Who told you that?
Bart: Nelson.
Homer: Hmmm. That's the kind of dirt that belongs on my web
page.
Lisa: You can't post that on the Internet. You don't even know
if it's true!
Homer: Nelson has never steered me wrong, honey. Nelson is gold.
Bart: You know, it might have been Jimbo.
Homer: Beautiful, we have confirmation. [Lisa sighs in
exasperation]
-- More Americans get their news from Nelson than from any other
source, "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes"
