Yes, most of these reviewers did not reviewed a reading device, they expected some sort of PDA with e-ink. Sony lacks a good software for most of their devices, but do you really believe Apple would team with anyone ? I doubt this. Apple is a pretty huge fan of Apple-only ecosystems (PPC+Mac OS, iPod+iTunes etc...). They're amazing for ergonomics and design, but the way they keep everyone out of their ecosystem is really old-school. Using x86 for the new Macs was a great step forward for such a company. Sony did the wrong choice with the Librie, not opening their device to multiple formats, and the PRS-500 is a pretty good step forward for them too.
