I fully acknowledge that I'm in the minority on the justification issue (though I've received a decent amount of karma for my post from others with the same view). All I ask is that if they do add ADE justification, that the ADE renderer at the very least respect a left text-align property if given. However, since the firmware update (if it even exists) is likely finalized at this point, discussing it is really all a moot point anyways.
On a side note, I'm not even convinced there will be a firmware update. The early articles that announced the new models and Mac support that actually featured quotes from Sony reps stated that the Mac support would be handled by a software update (which makes sense since you would need to download the Mac software in the first place). From what I've seen, a blog or two interpreted this to be a software update for the reader itself (aka, a firmware update), and things snowballed from there. I know one or two people got in touch with Sony support and asked, but quite frankly, I don't trust anything that first line support has to say, especially when dealing with unreleased products and updates. So to be honest, I'll be pleasantly surprised if there is a firmware update for the 505 and 700, and not surprised in the least if there isn't one.
