Definitely sounds like they released it a little early, but given what I read when I was thinking of buying the DR1000, the matter is not necessarily bigger than waiting for firmware updates. I guess the release of the SonyDaily might have made them push the release?
I'm definitely curious about this, but I don't feel especially put out that it's not released i Europe until next year (during first half of 2010 according to the Engadget hands-on article) - by that time it might have the worst bugs resolved.
I wonder about the quality of the flip bar. I liked the idea of it as such, on the Iliad, but I sincerely hope this one won't turn out to have the same "stickyness" issues as the Iliad (a 'short' single-page turn was sometimes interpreted by the device as 'long' 5-page turn - it was a hardwise issue).
