Do you think Bezos has already played with
PVI's touch panels?

He may just have been trying to justify the inclusion of a keyboard on the Kindle.

Agreed.

As for the Sony it does not have a touchscreen, so you must be assuming that a new version will have: I have not seen any mention of that, have you?

Why? Everything in this thread is based on assumptions. We are assuming that the COO of Sony hasn't been misquoted by Gizmodo. We are assuming that wireless capability implies something like WiFi or Whispernet. And we are assuming that this connectivity could be used for online shopping. So what's wrong with assuming that either a keyboard OR a touch panel will be used?
