Finally made it down to my local Fry's to check out the new fangled Sony Readers all the kids are talking about. They had a feces load of 505's and several 300's but no 600's which was the model I was most interested in seeing.

The only displays they had Sony-wise was also the 505 and 300. I decided to check out the 300 display to discern the crispness of it's unfettered non touch screen, but was foiled in the attempt.

Some Joker had entered a "device lock" code on the 300, so all I could see was the screen asking me to enter the code, and the display telling me I had failed in reading the mind of the industrial terrorist who had coded the device!

I admit some small admiration for the ingenuity of the cretin who had obviously sabotaged the display (I would never have thought of code locking a display.. perhaps I am not evil enough... must work on that)

Kudos and Damn-You goes out to the Astak or Jetbook spy who carried out the scheme. Very clever.

Sony would be wise to disable such capability in display models. It is a dog eat dog ebook world out there.
