It looks like the only ereader available on Sonystyle.com is the silver PRS 350, as of tdoay. Every other models are listed as out of stock. So it seems that the communal idea that Sony is clearing their stock is true. Wonder what's next.
On a related news, the idea that Sony avoiding the US market for ereader isn't that farfetched.
On news relating to their tablet S1 and S2,
http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/s...-in-september/
the tablets are going to be sold in Europe first, in the "Sony Direct, UK department store John Lewis, and a third still-unconfirmed retailer." Then sell to US and other parts of world later, they speculate.
So is Sony pulling the same trick for Android, bypassing the glut of Android tablets in U.S.? Also, selling in specialized stores -- Sony plans to sell these as high-end Android tablets? I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the same plan for the next line of ereaders.
Otoh, the prices for the NGP, aka Playstation Vita, is surprisingly cheap. A complete turnaround from earlier PS sales plans.
