Back to the original question, Both the Sony and the Astek are going to be available in retail, and while Sony currently has a Higher Brand profile then Astak, better pricing or promotion by a few retailers could really push up Astak's visibility.

So, its going to be a bit of a toss-up IMHO, until we can see how widley available both are going to be, and any future promotions.
The Pocket Pro is only going to be available from Astak's website, which I think is going to be problematic unless they do some serious promotion.
