I currently have an M92 and, at least for me, the 9.7" just dont cut it. So does the firmware. From the reviews of it, I'm excited about the Sony's firmware. Especially as far as annotating goes, it seems to have everything I was ever dreaming of. The M92, too, has a 150dpi resolution which works just fine for me. I can't seem to see a point in extremely high resolutions for they really offer no visual advantage over 150 (or say 200) under any normal conditions.
That story of Sony deliberately cancelling orders which they suspect to be forwarded to Europe (or so it seems) is really unheard of
I wonder wether, if I manage to trick them into shipping one anyway, they will file charges of theft against me
Well, if they are so resolute to not get these devices going to Europe, I guess I'll just humour them with that. They may even have reasons for doing so.
