Sony's always had a terrible marketing arm - at least for the past 15+ years. Often times superior products, but nowhere to be found and/or no one knows about them. THe DPT-RP1 and S1 are no exceptions.

The reMarkable has WiFi but no BT, etc. Spec-wise, I like the Sony better. Yet here's some of the recent coverage in the past few days via Bing:

Oh well. Then again, Sony is not targeting the mass market with the RP1. In some ways, it's smarter. They may not sell as many devices (potentially), but they are going after industries where it makes sense. The reMarkable is going after the Windows 2-in-1s and the iPad crowd IMO

Part of me wants to get back in on the preorder to see if Sony enabled BT pedal connectivity.
