Sony Reader on life support?
Look at the picture above.
What do you see?
It's a full-page ad that's been running the past few weeks on an almost daily basis in the New York Times.
Translation: Sony's about to pull the plug on yet another failure.
Why do I say this?
Because you don't see full page ads in the New York Times for Apple products and other successes after their introductory fanfare.
The Sony Reader is circling the drain — you read it here first.
Buy a Nokia N800 instead like I did a month ago: for $360 you get the whole Internet without any monthly fees like you'll pay with an iPhone.
Use the Nokia mini-tablet as a reader if you like.
One heads-up: whatever you do don't buy yours from TigerDirect.com: you'll be assaulted with unblockable spam forever.
Take it from a person who's still digging out from under, six months after the inciting purchase of a MoGo PC-card-slot wireless mouse (great device, by the way).

hey joe!
The Nokia N800! Wow! enough with the exclamations.
I want that device so bad I can taste it's nordic screen.
What's not to like? Beautiful screen, WiFi, Internet pretty much anywhere, especially if you pair it to your phone for those unfortunate out of wifi experiences.
I take it you like yours. w00t! U IZ TEH INTANETS MAN!
