Apparently 'Available Now' means 'Pre-order Now' to Sony
I was hoping to be able to pop down to the local Sonystyle store (in Annapolis, MD) and possibly purchase one of the new readers. Unfortunately, they will not have any stock until the 17th. They do have the demo models available. Okay, I figure, I could order one from Sonystyle.com. No joy. According to the product page, they will not ship till the 16th. I feel used.

Yeah, I just saw the switch from "notify me" to "preorder." my guess is I'll get an
email on the 17th which is pretty dumb marketing. The lack of specs on the Daily page is pretty dumb, too. I might not even be interested but I probably won't buy a Touch until I know more about the Daily |

The Daily Edition isn't going to launch until the end of the year.

Amusingly, that's when the Kindle is expected back in stock on Amazon UK

So I think they are going to arrest sales of the Touch until the Daily is released or at least specs are clearer. |
