Another, perhaps less tangible, benefit of the Gen3 over the Sony is the user-replaceable battery. That could be an issue for someone who lives in a country in which the Sony service centre won't repair the device.

All these are very subjective judgements, which is why all I'm saying is that the Gen3 was the better machine for me personally. It's for everyone to make the personal choice about what the best machine for them is, and that choice is undoubtedly going to be different for different people.
Harry,

While I've never found the dictionary feature to be all that important, I will grant you that the other two features you've mentioned *ARE* better - and that I'm so used to them that I'd not even considered their importance.
