That's definitely a high gloss finish as I feared, which is a deal breaker for me. I find that high gloss finish super annoying when I tried a Nook out, I kept trying to tilt the reader to eliminate the glare, even though it's not on the text screen.

Does anyone know if the non-light Sony cover for the 505 will fit the T1?

Well we had already know that from the first videos. So no surprise there. Just get a matte skin.

None of the previous covers from Sony will fit the T1.

So, what color would people recommend...red, black, or white?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I hope that's an early software release, the flashing in the reader looks horrendous, and the device felt sluggish for a 1GHz processor.

I guess this is something of a short stop criticism:

Some people like it smooth, others like it rough! Either way you might be inclined, there will always be a solution, so no worries (romantic or mean or.. whatever).

A smooth finish is even more conductive to the adhesive decals(which you can choose in any roughness, whatever) than the rough surface. Thus making it easier for EVERYONE!

How comes none of the new readers include the faster Eink screen controller we have seen recently (you know where you would see a video displayed on an EInk screen) ? All the new readers are as slow as the old generation...

Probably to keep cost down. I dont think most people are willing to pay extra for video playback. Do we really need it on a dedicated ereader?? Theres enough stuff on an ereader to distract people as it is.
