Sony is gunning for a piece of the big Kindle pie
A few posts back, I wrote an open letter to Jeff Bezos. In it, I explained what I wanted in a small portable e-reader and multimedia device. I also predicted that the Kindle would fall out of favor to the device which did do all that I wanted. It’s coming. It’s not hear yet, but here’s one step closer: The new Sony Daily Reader with free Wireless access.

Bezos: Wake up! Let the Kindle become it’s destiny! Else you’ll loose it all to other devices. Actually, I hate to admit it, but I think you’ve already lost, and that makes me sad. Why? Because none of this would have happened if you hadn’t created the Kindle. That’s what started it. And now you’ll be surpassed by the guys who are willing to make the device go further. You are not, unfortunately, willing to let the Kindle become anything but an ebook reader.
