Dennis --

First, thanks again for attending and giving us this great writeup. You mentioned that you'd be following up with some contacts in the following days, so I have a quick question that you can hopefully pass along....

What is the OS X (or Linux, or anything) compatibility going to be with the new software and reader? Is sony going to have a method of buying from their store from OS X (again, or Linux)? Are they going to push other stores towards host OS neutrality?

Will the 700 keep the functionality of appearing as a USB Mass Storage Device to OSX/Linux?

Thanks!
