Three New Editions in Sony Reader Family

Sony has released three new edition of its readers:

• PRS 350 – Pocket Edition
• PRS 650 – Touch Edition
• PRS 950 – Daily Edition

Accoring to CrunchGear,

• All three editions have new Pearl eInk display
• All have Improved touch-sensitive layer
• All of them come with styli
• They have been redesined – slim, sleek, and weight less than half a pound
• Each has 2GB internal memory & SD card/Memory Stick Pro slot
• Only Daily Edition have both 3G+Wifi
• Pocket and Touch Editions don’t have any wireless connectivity
• Pocket Edition has 5″ display, Touch Edition 6″ and Daily Edition 7″
• Price: Pocket Edition – $179, Touch Edition – $229 and Daily Edition$299
• Daily Edition will be available in November, 2010

CrunchGear’s comment on these three devices are appropriate, I think:

I mean, they look like great devices, but the Kindle is really killing them on price, and I think price is the main driver of e-reader sales, not features. Brushed aluminum and touch navigation are great, but I just don’t see a big market for them when everyone else is racing down to under a hundred bucks.

Engadget has a video review here. I couldn’t embed the video here since they don’t allow that.
