The "Connect" store is what? About 8 months old? Compare it with "iTunes" when it was 8 months old and I think you'll find the comparison is rather favourable. At that time, iTunes was US-only, single-platform, with a very small content. Rather similar, in fact, to what Connect is now. Let's wait and see what "Connect" is like in, say, 5 years time. Then we'll be able to make a sensible comparison.

Also, when the Itunes store updates, it is usually to add features or functionality.

Connect did add significant functionality at the 1.1 update. One
very significant feature it added, for those of us who are creating content for the Reader, is the full-screen "preview" mode. Now you can sensible read LRF files on the PC rather than having to load them on the Reader to see how they'll look. That's a massive feature when you're creating books.

Let's remember that Sony still hasn't provided any Mac support...at all...since the Reader was launched.

I'm afraid there are lots of products out there which don't have Mac support - it's a minority market. My Pocket PC doesn't support the Mac. Palms don't support the Mac. My Canon digital SLR camera doesn't. That's why I have both a Mac and a PC. If you have only a Mac, you can pick up a 2nd hand PC running XP for peanuts on eBay, etc.
