How does the screen size and glare compare to a Sony PRS-600?

Does the bluetooth stack support hosting HID or SPP class devices, specifically my portable keyboard?

What WiFi encryption specs does it support? (WEP, WAP, WAP-2)?

Also, can it browse Windows shares (SMB protocol) on the LAN via WiFi?

I am VERY excited about this reader, and if it lives up to it's specs I will probably gift my PRS-600 and get one. This seems to be the perfect complement to my Blackberry; I want something I can read and write with without interrupting my email, IM, phone, etc.

The screen is 6" E-ink. It's shiny, but not clouded like the Sony Touch Edition.

I don't have any Bluetooth gear to test, so I don't know what it can connect to.

There are 3 security options under Wifi: WEP, WPA-Enterprise, and WPA-PSK. (I'm not sure what the last 2 are, exactly.)

It can probably use SMB protocol, but only if someone wrote an app for it.

Thanks for the info, Nick. I'm going to keep a close eye on this device.

That's wrong. You can turn pages with the touchscreen. Horizontal gesture in the lower part of the display...

The latter is the security protocol found on most modern wireless devices. Much more secure than WEP, which is very easily "hacked".

I know what WPA is, yes. But I've never seen the suffixes before.

Oh, OK; it's what my (Belkin) router shows as the protocol name. According to Wiki, "PSK" stands for "Pre-Shared Key". I don't know what the "Enterprise" one is, though.

Thanks for the correction. You're right, but it's only at the bottom of the screen.

Yes, only in the lower part of the screen. Btw., a vertical gesture in the upper section of the screen increases/decreases the font size...

I'm going to be posting the review tomorrow. Also, I replaced the video with a better quality one I shot with my new camera. Actually, there are 3 videos (I still need to upload one).
