The problem is not simply that the chart came out over a year ago and should now be updated; but that the chart was already almost six months out of date when it was released.
When released it compared the Jetbook to the Sony 500 which had been discontinued the previous year.
Matching your products strengths against your competitors' weaknesses is a tried and true practice. Had Ectaco compared the Jetbook to the 505 it would have been appropriate as that was the currently available competing device from Sony at the time the chart was released. However, comparing it to the 500 is different only in degree to comparing a 2009 Chevy to a Model T Ford.
It's not a valid comparison to compare your current product to a competitor's discontinued and unavailable product. Compare it to what's currently out there or leave it off. (That's why I'm not as concerned about the Kindle comparisons - the K1 was Amazon's competing device at the time.)
