The fact that the 900 supports it correctly and other models don't makes the lack of a firmware update across the board even more curious--it seems like pure laziness. I love the hardware design of their readers, but this is a really boneheaded decision on their part.
I agree; one can understand that the evil drones in Marketing might decide not to update the 505, thinking this this will promote sales, but not to support their chosen standard format properly on the 300/600 - especially when they've already done the work in the 900 firmware - seems bizarre.

Ouside the US, they don't sell the 900, so their standard format isn't properly supported on any of their current readers!
