I'm actually doubtful for the same reason. While it will not compete directly with the 505, demand will still be high, especially when you take into account that
1) Readers are still very new here in the public mind
2) the 505 sell for £200 ($370)
3) the UK warranty is Europe Wide (I Think)

So if the price difference was kept consistent ($100) a lot of people may choose to go for the slightly higher version.

And I'm really doubtful that Sony will be able to keep up with demand in the US and Canada for such a new product, with probably low production throughput, let alone meet European Demand as well.

So I figure an introduction Europ wide sometime in Q1 2009 with the sales channel already having been worked out with the 505
