New Sony E-Readers Confirmed

What I wrote about here is now confirmed. Sony has officially released The Pocket and The Touch, and the online e-bookstore has also lowered its prices. The costs of the gadgets are $299 and $199 respectively. An excerpt from the article:

The company just went official with the PRS-300 and 600, which will more affectionately be known as the Pocket and Touch editions, respectively.The latter is the 6-inch resistive touchscreen model replacing the PRS-700, with Memory Stick / Duo and SD card slots. The backlighting layer from its predecessor has been dropped to improve touch responsiveness and to alleviate concerns of glare. It also comes packing a stylus and a digitized copy of the Oxford American English Dictionary and will be available in red, black, and silver. The Pocket Edition, on the other hand, is your standard fare with no touchscreen or expandable disk port, and palettes including blue, silver, and rose. Both models have USB 2.0, 512MB internal memory, and no WiFi whatsoever -- Sony assures us a WiFi version is coming and there'll be news on those coming soon, but this isn't it.
