I have a feeling they had a huge jump in sales with the holidays, especially with the kindle sold out.

Well, the Sony CES briefing is over. That is the only mention about the reader.

The did announce the Vaio P (a netbook) which has 3G but no word on price. But, I have heard it will be $900 EEK! How can that compete with the $400 EEE touch screen tablet?

They have additional briefings on specific areas, so we will see if there are an announcements about readers in the coming days.

He he he. And what'll be in the wootoff in three years and 1 month. I'm ready for a wootoff, maybe one next week.

Always thought Sony should put the refurbed Readers on woot. I'm sure they have them.

My husband is at the show. He has promised to look for the latest and greatest in reader technology as he knows I am a complete techno junkie!

I am jealous, too!! He asked me to go with him but someone had to stay home with the kids!! I'll pass along the request about DeCart and let you all know if he uncovers anything interesting. He was bragging about how huge the show was in our last phone conversation.
Oh, why did I feel the need to reproduce!?!

He took a camera - I'm hoping it was for the CES and not another form of Vegas amusement!

I would love to go and let him stay home except he's the one with the tech job and I'm the unemployed teacher and stay-at-home mom. Besides, I'm not sure he could handle the kids for more than a couple of hours - who knows what I would find when I got home. . .

ah, so in fact you only have yourself to blame !

so what kind of tech job does he have, that he goes to CES ? (i want to know, so i can get the same job. )
