For my uses, what I would like to see is the a "revised" version of the 700 that adds the dictionary support (and it would be great if it was done so that I could use the dictionary of my choice) and removes the screen light (which might also fix the screen issue). I don't use a special light with my 505 now, and would be happy to use a clip on one with the 70x rather than the built in one. As for wireless, I'm also happy to do without that.
Bottom line, really, is that I want my 505 but with a touchscreen and a dictionary.
While Sony is at it, why not consider "custom-built" Readers? List a base Reader and then offer customization options, like buying a PC or a laptop. Faster processor, larger hard drive, light or no light, more memory, touchscreen or no touchscreen, wireless or no wireless, etc. If I could customize so that the Reader was precisely what I wanted to fit my reading habits, I'd be willing to pay more for the ultimate device.
