There was a thread here somewhere (can't find it) about a month ago pointing out the PRS-900 being listed here on Sony's website.

But did anyone notice this page before?

It lists the battery life at a mere 1200 page-turns for ePub. In contrast, the 600 is listed at 6800.

That's a pretty steep drop off. It must mean with wireless turned on, but it doesn't specify.

Needless to say, I don't think 1200 page-turns would go over very well with most people. Hopefully the listing is a mistake.

Also listed on that page is this:

Wi-Fi : Supports HSPA, UMTS, Edge, and GPRS data services with two bands (850 and 1900 MHz).

I think that's the first official mention of Wi-Fi, is it not?
