I'm aware of these facts, but one can have wishes, no?
Larger + higher res screens should be available from PVI this year, right? Won't the 9" Astak and Hanlin v9 (if that's not pure vaporware) also use their 9" screens?
What about those screens Irex uses, couldn't Sony (in theory) also use these?
We'll have Plasticlogic readers next year, also bigger and - I suppose - higher res than the current 800x600 of the Sony Reader.
My point is: I love the reader, it has the perfect fit and finish. I'll be buying a new reader - for sure - next year. 8, 9 or 10 inch display, higher resolution. If Sony wants my money the should build one.
bye!
