Sony Ships Reader Daily Edition To Rival Nook And Kindle
The good news is that pre-orders placed through Sony's own site through December 20th should get their units before Christmas, but everyone else will likely have to wrap an IOU and hope that goes over well. It's tough to judge just how in-demand this unit will be; Barnes & Noble's Nook seems to have the buzz going its direction, with many pre-order participants having to receive a $100 "oops" payment for not meeting the original pre-Christmas shipping deadline.
Oh well, if you're fuming, at least the Daily Edition will be sitting out there just begging for your business.
