Hmmm. Sony stops producing the Readers. Sony announces a Mac compatible ebook store. Apple has the Chinese busy producing a 10 inch touchpad sized screen component.

Could it be? Are Apple and Sony jointly making a new ebook reader?

I mean, the facts all fit together, don't they?

Ain't this fun?

Oooohhhh. Looks like the readers on Virtuality. <drool> But...it's too big. It looks more like a 12 incher.

Besides, you are not playing the rumor game right. You have to add some factoid and extrapolate wildly from it.

For example, Microsoft is making a new OS. So does this mean that the new Sony/Apple (Sapple?) reader will run the new OS? PDFs all around!

Honestly, Apple just might get away with it. I'm not really an Apple fan, but man can they market.

I currently have their 3.5" version (iPod Touch), but honestly can say I hate using their products from a techie point-of-view, but love their look and ease of use! Is that marketing at work...

I'm loving the Kindle ad in the middle of that Sony Insider page -- now that's marketing.
