For 229 (20 bucks more than the new Sony), you can get the Astak that comes with the case. and so much more that the new Sony 5" will not do.
As far as costs go, it's unbeatable. Sony may have been the first with a 199 price point, but they had to butcher the unit (no case, no SD card support, no epson controller) in order to reach that price.

I saw the announcement of the Sony one, I got excited, though I know it won't have as much support or as many features as the astak 5". What I do like about the Sony one is that it is suppoed to be sold in many places, so it shouldn't be that hard to find a 10% discount somewhere and get it for around 180 plus tax
