some very strong positives:
Wifi & bluetooth!
SDK
Hi fragile,

I think you mistake PB302 for PB301+. PB302 has Wifi and touch screen, but should be avoided for now, because of the reflective screen. The first models ship with a glass screen that have a pronounced mirror effect. If you want the touch screen, it is probably better to wait for June or July, when the plastic screens arrive.

Concerning the SDK: it's not important IMO, unless you are a software developer. The Wifi: it's all a matter of preference. For me: good to have, but not a deal breaker.

The PB301+ is a EB600EM clone (revised in 2009):
- Processor: it's as fast as the Sony600
- Internal memory: ~400MB
- It does allow arbitrary zoom and retain the setting when flipping pages
- No wireless: No web browser.
- Notes: yes, but I never used them so I cannot comment.
