Sony’s Kindle Competition: Touchscreen Plus AT&T, for $399

in Media on August 25, 2009 at 7:53 am PT

Sony did indeed have a bit of news to announce at the New York Public Library: Its most direct challenge to Amazon’s Kindle to date.

And unlike current versions of the Kindle, the Sony device will feature a touchscreen. But it will come at a price: The device will retail in December for $399. That’s $100 more than the current price of Amazon’s Kindle 2. And that price point is almost certain to drop in coming months.
