Ok. Now I have a plan

"Finally, there will be a wireless version. Steve said this is down the road because they want to launch wireless on a open platform. That is one that will have different bookstores and book suppliers, not just the Sony store. This will take a bit of time to set up. No target date was given." From Paul Biba at the Teleread site.

This is very exciting news. Now I know what to buy. I was waiting for the Astak 6 inch with wifi and touch, but it looks like the Sony will beat them to it. The first one with an open platform, touch, and wifi gets my money (and one for my wife too). We live in a 750 sq ft apartment just outside of New York City with free wifi everywhere in the complex of 10 buildings and some of the outside spaces, so it's important to me. I prefer less buttons and I think an on screen touch keyboard is overdue for devices like this. The light integrated into the device is a really nice touch. With the wifi version of this for personal use and a Plastic Logic for business use I'll be set until color comes along.
