Something been spinning around in my thinking...
1) Diddent Job's have the head of Sony on stage for one of the dog and pony shows?
2) Its a bit weird how limited parts of CONNECT kind of act like iTunes. Or have basic logic. ( could be a copy )
3) Why playback ACC { Basically Apples m4a audio format }? It does play unencrypted iTunes songs. It eats a bit more power than mp3. And with some work could maybe play encrypted iTunes?
Could it be either they were working on something and fell out or that something has not filter out yet. Its a pretty big stretch but have seen strange things in the past.
Take the new apple hub being released next year for media and add the Reader to the mix. Or a combo flexible page reader or some other concept.
A heavy battery that good for a day of music or longer for pages. A bit odd...
Would not be surprise to see Sony and Apple were partner then split like Sony/Nintendo deal of the early 90's.
And last try this...
On some of the Apple sites they have reported a bezel control system patented by Apple... Would be energy efficient if you were using the current eink displays.
Ho hum... Having a blast with the Reader!
