512 Meg is certainly consistent with their advertising and very likely the amount. The 505 seems to have 256M with at least 190 M available for eBooks (Generally most folks say there seems to be about 210 Meg). The rest is used by the OS. The new 700 computes that 384 Meg will be available for eBooks based on their formula of 1.2 M per book. Likely there will be more than 400 Meg available.

The voice over said it was "replacing the old 500 version". Fail.

And, they have "dozens" of book in the ebook store. Unless I heard that wrong.

There was a title in the video saying the PRS-700 has a 800MHz Celeron class CPU. That was a bit of new information for me.

I wouldn't trust any textual information in that video. They didn't seem too knowledgeable about the PRS-700. I watched it to see the 700 in action, nothing more.

A bit of potential BS, I would say.

Until I get my hands on something, every piece of information could be BS. When I get my hands on something, I can sort the information in the "BS" or the "Facts" bin.

I would say Sony is a bit behind the schedule with this thing. The big event came and went and they are not even sure about the size!

We'll see...

So far, it looks like something I would like to have.

Hey, the first vimeo video on this thread is 'private'. I'm a vimeo member, but it won't let me read it even though I'm logged in. How do I read it?

You can't. I think the guy who posted it has to add you to a watch list of some sort. But this is pretty much the same material.

I've been following the info about the PRS-700 and thought I had watched a video with a link from this site, which had text saying "Internet Ready" or something similar. I can't find the video again. Has anybody else seen this or did I imagine it? If I did see it, is this another example of BS or does it actually mean anything?
I've been reading with a UMPC and have been researching for a gift for my daughter, but the new Sony has me interested in getting myself a gift too!
