New Sony E-Book Device To Debut This Year
Luke PiWalker writes "Sony hopes to pen a new chapter for e-books with a device set to debut later this year. The secret? A display based on E Ink technology that goes miles beyond LCDs and CRTs. From the article: 'Scheduled to go on sale this spring for between $300 and $400, the Reader is a compact slab about the size of a small paperback book (5-by-7 inches, and a half-inch thick). But it's the 3.5-by-4.8-inch display that made it the buzz of the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month in Las Vegas.'"
No more Sony in my house, sorry.
And I suppose also no Microsoft, no McDonalds, no Proctor and Gamble, no Walmart, no Nike... in your house either? Come on, you'll get over your teenage moral principle-du-jour and you'll buy the Sony device if it's good, just like everybody else.
By the way, Sony is a big multinational. Just because the music division does stupid things doesn't mean the electronics division is evil too.

I don't recall my printer manufacturer putting rootkits on my computer.
Sony and their apologists can go to hell.
