How likely is it that they will put out a new firmware for PRS-700 which includes Dictionary support?

Several sources said Sony will release a firmware update for 700. Whether it will have the dictionary is anyone's guess.

Question: Is the touch screen on the PRS-700 sensitive enough to permit hand written notations in a firmware release, as is proposed for the PRS-600? WetDogEared |

I just saw the Touch 600 in person at a Staples near me. It was working, but so locked down that you couldn't really get a feel for its size or get at the stylus. But I just pulled the stylus out of my 700 and played with it to my heart's content.
Now, I just want to know, is there going to be a dictionary update for the 700 or not! I'm getting impatient and I so enjoyed this feature on the 600 I tried out. Is there any news about this, that I somehow missed? The clarity is better on the 600, but I have no trouble reading on my 700. I just want an integrated dictionary. And I want it now! I apologize for my temporary loss of control. I'm normally a very patient person, MR... and Sony people (if you can read this), for the price we paid for the 700 you should be able to indulge your customers, by giving us what we want! Phew! Glad I got that off my chest. |
