We have received word that Sony has been showing off a Connect software update at this year's CES. Other than Howard Stringer's
indication that there will probably be another Sony Reader model in the future, it may be the best evidence so far of Sony's ongoing commitment in that product space.
Reportedly, Sony has talked about the following enhancements for the Connect Reader desktop software:
* Connect Reader will allow for a two page whole screen viewing of books
* Connect Reader will work with Vista
* Connect Reader will have a "Eject Button" to allow you to feel better about disconnecting the Reader from the Software
No word on when it will be available, but with the initial success of the Reader, and ongoing signs of Sony's commitment to the Reader, hopefully we can look forward to more enhancements from Sony in the years to come.
In other Sony Reader news from CES, they are apparently also displaying the Great Point/Lightwedge flexible neck clip-on light that
should appear soon at their
web site.
