You're correct, I missed that, and a brief perusal did not turn up other issues of stability. There is a possible word selection bug here, though it's an annoyance rather than a stability issue (Gustav Gans reports it on the new FW, though it may have always been there):

So the list should be changed as follows, I think:

T1 Pros:
-WIFI (950 has WIFI, though).
-Slightly better screen than x50 series (IMHO).
-Lighter form factor.
-Is based on Android, so many other applications might work.
Cons:
-First Sony Android reader, so may have more bugs than the Linux based x50 series. Stability so far *seems* OK with the new FW.
-Borderline unusable for PDFs.

x50 Pros:
-Stable and mature code base.
-Very good for PDFs.
-PRS+ firmware gives many options (including soon one level sub-collections)
Cons:
-No WIFI (except 950).
-Slightly worse screen than T1 (IMHO).

Better?
