I can't help it. I am a geek but a complete newbie in ebook readers. Trying to finalize my decision on T1 (Pre-Order, RED) or Kindle Touch SO. Leaning toward T1 at the moment and read almost everything on this web site. (A gift for wife, RED is winning.)

Quick question, maybe it is not relevant.

Does anybody know what CPU either PRS-T1 or Kindle Touch SO have?

They all seems to be made by Freescale and ARM related. (i.MX35 from the Kindle keyboard.)? I couldn't find any concrete info on either one. (They are both just SO NEW.)
The spec matrix from mobilreader has both missing. Not even an entry for Kindle touch, understandably. And some news story erroneous mentioned 1Ghz Intel for the T1, but I think it is a mistake because that should be referring to the PC "requirement" for operation instead.

So, the reason for this is obvious. Software can be updated, but hardware is nearly impossible. What is the page-turn mechanism like between Kindle and Sony? Historically, speed and feel?

Thank you in advance of such a geeky question with almost NO users that have either and/or both, I realize that this is a hypothetical question, so I ask about the CPU instead.
