While I wouldn't buy one myself. Both my parents and my sister are taken with my iLiad. But as they do not require wifi or the touchscreen I thought the Sony would be more suitable...
This is the answer I got out of Sony today (the best part of a week since asking the question).

Thank you for your recent enquiry.
Each Sony Marketing Company decides in advance which products they will
sell, based on local market trends. However, no detail of the products to
be launched nor their specifications are made available (to Sony customer
services or consumers) before their launch.
For and on behalf of
It is therefore with regret that I am not able to provide any information on
this product at this time, but should we launch this product in the future
details will be posted on our website, www.sony.co.uk.
The launch of the PRS500 is a very exciting development, however it is
currently a US product, where they have a very different market place to the
United Kingdom. Whilst it is a good indicator of the way technology is
progressing, we cannot always guarantee that we will launch the same
products in this country as they do in the US.
Even though you may be able to get the product sent over, it is only
designed for use in the USA and we cannot guarantee the products performance
in the United Kingdom. But please keep an interest as this is a very popular
product and we do receive many requests for when it may be released.
I apologise for the disappointment this response may cause.
