I'd say this sad attempt is doomed to immediate failure.The ONLY thing this silly tablet has going for it is the e-ink display, and hence very good battery life and excellent readability. But good battery life won't hide the fact that you're paying roughly 50% more-twice as much as you would for an iPad, and up to 3 times as much for a similar Android tablet, for far less functionality. I mean, you can even run Office on an iPad now, FFS, and gain full access to a whole spectrum of document types, not just PDFs, as well as spreadsheets, project management, and so on. And that's just Office! And while not quite as good for pure text as an e-ink display, HD/"retina" displays are not exactly hard on the eyes.
I'm reasonably sure that 10+ hours of constant internet and/or video use (and approaching 13-15 hours of lighter or more sporadic use) between charges is plenty for almost anyone, and you can easily carry a USB power pack if you need to extend that time.
I'll actually be quite amazed if anyone here, much less the consumers this tablet is targeted at, disagrees with me in the slightest.
Anyone owning one of these white elephants is going to be awfully jealous, when the exec sitting next to him in 1st-class fires up his iPad or high-end Android tablet and watches an HD movie, THEN goes on to take the exact same type of notes this Sony POS does, THEN opens up and edits a spreadsheet, THEN... Etc., etc., etc. ad absurdum. And it's damn well ONLY going to be execs buying this thing in the 1st place.
