I remember when the txtr beagle was announced, but I never saw one in the "plastic."

As for the T series vs. the 50 series, I didn't see a lot of difference in the firmware, but the T series definitely had better hardware. My 6" T3 is about the same size as my 5" PRS-350.

That said, I'm not a big fan of Android, Kobo and Kindle seems to do pretty well without it.
