More on that little Sony


The fold-up Tablet P. I haven't yet seen one for real, but I'm reading reviews.

The criticisms so far seem to be its limits on playing videos (only uses one of the screens) and on gameplay (no physical controls, only on-screen). Neither of these are my man purpose for getting it.
As an e-reader, apparently it's not as crisp as the Kindle. I'd better try it and see.
Keyboard - comparable with a laptop? Sounds good!
Given my intended use, I don't think the admittedly low storage is likely to be an issue.

One query remains unanswered - can I edit documents on it?

Edit: the Sony forum provided answers again. There's a couple of recommended Android apps for the purpose:  "Documents To Go" or "Quickoffice Pro". Neither are free, though there's a free read-only version of DtG.
