really then? what would you call the sony reader touch (600)? i certainly would not call it a multi-media tablet. the primary function of the device is to read ebooks. therefore it is an ereader.

To be honest, an iPad is a bit larger to carry around like you would a 6" eink reader. That's why if I ever bought an iPad or anything similar, I would still keep my 505. My 505 is a lot more portable and less chance of it getting stolen at some T station/bus stop (local public transportation). Even iPhones/Touches are more likely to get stolen them my 505.
Ah. So you don't have an iPad after all. Well yes, it's likely an iPhone is a higher target for a thief. Just as a BMW is a higher target than a VW Bug. The market for a hot 505 is, pretty low, I'd think. Doesn't make your 505 any better than the iPhone.

Ok, my iPad won't fit in a pocket, but it will easily fit in a backpack, something you still won't be doing with that 102" display you mentioned earlier.
