Thank goodness it does not support a browser. It's a machine dedicated to reading PDFs, annotating and commenting on them, and producing your own handwritten notes and sketches. I'm sure Sony will be happier not hearing complaints about how poorly the browser performs.
No Bluetooth keyboard support, yeah! It's a device that is meant to be used with a stylus, not with a keyboard. We all learned how to write and sketch by hand, it's far more efficient than with a keyboard.
No dictionary, that might be nice, but we have plenty of dictionaries available on our smart phones.
Windows/Mac, what else is there? Android? Please, no, it's not needed, everybody in the world already has a Windows or Mac machine, I have both.
As for syncing, this has already been discussed here. While disappointing, it's not a deal breaker.
To me, the S1 and RP1 are idea generators. Engage your brain and your hand and take a break from the keyboard. Have you ever seen pages from an inventor's notebook? That's what this is, a modern inventor's notebook.
With luck, I'll have mine today.
