sorry for the many questions.. I'm on the virge of getting a 505 or 700,depending on if I find the extra $100 of the 700 justified enough...
So,I'm kind of excited already  |
You can create your own categories -- the device doesn't come with any pre-installed. Well, I should say that the 500 didn't come with any categories already created. I don't know about the 505.
I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the 700 yesterday. I applied for the SonyCard at the same time and put the 700 on it as the first charge, which makes it eligible for a $150 credit, which means the 700 should cost me only $250, a lower price than most places have the 505 listed at.
I'm moving up from the 500, and the thing which tipped me towards the 700 is the built-in light. I had been about to order the 505 and buy the cover-with-lightwedge also, but that makes the 505 cost between $320 and $370 (depending on whether you trust the places which list the 505 at $250), so the extra cost of the 700 isn't that much.
Of course, I may regret it, but I have gotten tired of holding my 500 with a reading light on it and would like a device which is easy to carry with me and which can actually be read anywhere, not just where there is light.
It'll be interesting to see what is developed to take advantage of the new touch screen and the annotation features.
