I thought the "usual" aspect of a printed page were down to tradition - and originally down to the optimal sizes of vellum (at least the vellum folio's I've seen had that certain size aspect ration that is most common).
Anyway, the sony daily gives you more text per "page" without making the lines wider (easier to read). I don't think it's ideal, but it's another option that could be more optimal for some than a wider, larger screen.

They also asked the question; when would it be introduced here, the answer: there is no concrete answer possible. A successful launch of a 3G requires good cooperations with partners, and while they're working on it, but it hasn't cleared up yet. So, I wonder where endgadget gets their date... |
From Engadget:
"... will be available this October in "select" Best Buy stores and will hit Europe in the first half of 2010. No wireless contract is required."
Sounds as if Engadget either were told something different or got something wrong... Both likely possibilities.
