Speed and storage space are the main factors for me. Having seen videos of the new Sony, sure it's a lot faster than the older model, but it's still much slower than my iPad. I want to have my entire Egyptology reference library at my fingertips, and that's currently about 27GB of files, so I couldn't live with the 8GB (is that right?) of storage offered by the Sony. I also really like the capabilities offered by the "GoodReader" app on the iPad, in particular the ease it brings to rapidly flipping between multiple documents, something which is critical for academic research use, and the ability to easily load documents from virtually any online source or Cloud storage service.
The Sony seems like an excellent device, but it doesn't fit my personal requirements.
