I also just saw the 505 is out, but is it Viziplex? I haven't seen anything saying it is yet, but I also haven't looked too hard. I contemplated waiting a bit longer for it, but there's still no mention of direct HTML support, so I figured that I'll spend the $50 now, and get more fully-featured model with a hopefully larger-resolution screen down the road.
For me, it took about a week for the CC, and just under 3 weeks for the reader.

Speculation here is that the 505 WILL be Viziplex, but that Sony doesn't believe most potential customers know enough about the technology to appreciate what this means to them.

(Hint to Sony: This question KEEPS coming up regarding the 505 reader. We're aware that the 505 was leaked, not officially announced. When you do announce it officially, realize that a significant number of techie types really DO want to know about the new screen...)
