I think it is going to work very much like Kindle does now, that is, you'll get an option on the Overdrive web site to send to your Sony, you'll get redirected to a Sony page to authenticate and choose the device to send to, and Sony's servers would fulfill the ebook.

You are wrong - the T1 does have a browser, and it does have a custom interface with Overdrive. There's even a dedicated Library icon on the homepage.
You will be able to checkout from and download directly to the device.
So while I'm glad that Kindle users now have this ability (the more library support the better!), it does seem that the Sony 'experience' is meant to be seamless.
Perhaps the next iteration of Kindle will have direct library support.
The Oregon Electronic Library Consortium (Library2Go) has Kindle support now, so yay! - even if that doesn't affect me directly.
