We want all customers to have a great experience with our products. In other words the Sony Reader will not be released in a beta form and will only be released when it is ready.
Ha ha! That's a not-so-subtle dig at Irex!
Actually, I think that's more aimed at us, to encourage us to be patient while they deliver a product that won't ignite an inferno of wailing and teeth-gnashing ... okay, fine, yes: like we're doing over the iLiad.

Nah, all they've locked them out of is using the Connect Software -- MacUsers just can't buy content from Sony. Okay, they also can't use the software to "optimize" their content to: "enable faster page turns and re-sizing on the Reader itself." They can still load content via USB drive, SD Card, etc. If that's what a MacUser wants from his reader, he's still in. Though I agree that most MacUsers probably won't go this route.

And here I thought (from your avatar) that you'd decided that a while back!
