PSA: Don’t Order a Sony Reader PRS-T2…At Least Not Initially

Given the leaked product pages for the new Sony PRS-T2 ebook reader that turned up on J&R.com Thursday night (they’ve since been taken down) and the fact the PRS-T1 is no longer for sale on Sony’s website, there is a very good chance that Sony will make an official announcement about the release of the [...]
