I called Sony Style yesterday to ask about the Daily Edition. I wanted to know if they had a release date yet and whether it would support Adobe ADE version 9.1 which includes both Adobe's ePub DRM wrapper and B&N's wrapper. The answers were

December for the release date, nothing more specific, and
Don't know because the manual hasn't been released yet.

I suggested that both bits of information should be posted on their website as quickly as possible because several new devices are hitting the market sooner -- the nook and the iRex 800 -- both of which are said to support both flavors of ePub DRM. Otherwise Sony is likely to lose sales for the holiday to competing devices.

Needless to say, Sony was noncomittal.
