Hi from Staffordshire - UK.
My wife (without any prompting!) bought me a Sony 505 for Christmas. I have been reading e-books on a PDA for years, and find the 505 so much better.
However, I was unable to get it to charge through USB until I read here that you needed to use a USB port on a PC with the Sony software installed on it. Sure enough, that worked, but I have a PSP charger on order.
I have learnt so much from you all already. many thanks,
Regards,
White.
