Anti-aliasing can help with text rendering on any pixel-based device. I just pulled out my loupe and took a close look at my 505, and it definitely uses anti-aliasing. It's nowhere near as extreme as the Kindle 2 samples in that link, but it definitely is there. Remember that there are different methods for how to do it, and from what I can tell, the Sony one (or maybe it's the ADE one) does the job pretty well.
