So let me see if I've got this straight...

Amazon is coming out with a reader and its got wifi so our next reader needs to have wifi.

Our next reader will be targeted at schools.

Ergo the Amazon reader must be targeted at schools?

I scan in my Wife's text books and she goes to college with a Motion Computing LE1600. We've tried using the Sony but the screen is too small and she can't use it to take notes. The Motion with OneNote 2007 works very well for her. The WiFi in the LE1600 is useful outside of the classroom but only because she has a browser.

So if Sony adds WiFi, will they add a browser? And if they do, can they implement it better than iRex did for the iLiad?

Someone from Sony Reader marketing needs to give Stringer a clue or two as to what is really in the pipeline.
