Kindle's whispernet is an interesting idea for instant gratification. With the broad spread use of bluetooth, I wonder why Sony didn't make the Sony 700 bluetooth capable. Then users could down load files from their cell phone if instant downloads are that critical.
I'd rather see Wifi, with the amount of places that have it. But that all depends on whether they would have a built in browser. I honestly wouldn't have a darn clue how to use the bluetooth, I couldn't even get a headset to work WITH instructions.
