Perhaps 'strange' was the wrong word... How about the phrase thin-end-of-the-wedge?

I want the best reading experience from my reader, so I would like the reader to replace books, newspapers and magazines... and wireless would certainly enhance that experience.

In my opinion though it is bad enough that there is MP3 and picture support to suck my battery dry. However Email would invariably lead to calls for attachment support and while you are at it Sony, how about a camera in case I want to send a snap?
If you are going to do that, then I need a web browser though so I can Twit on the go... Oh, any chance for a microphone for VOIP. How about a color screen, proper keyboard and more memory now? Anyway you can change the screen so that refresh is better?... How about OLED instead of that E-ink stuff? Perhaps you can rebadge the reader to Vaio?

Joking aside... I for one hope Sony stay focused on enhancing those features that make a great Reading experience... rather than spend effort implementing what will likely be mediocre and frustrating to use peripheral features.
