We'll see. The U.S. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving" rel="nofollow">Thanksgiving</a>, is the fourth Thursday in November. As for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween" rel="nofollow">Halloween</a>, I don't think that's the kind of holiday Sony was thinking of. Besides, it's October 31, almost November. Thanks.

Or Thanksday, or whatever you have. :-) If I am not mistaken, these take place around the end of October. For the non-USians: holidays probably means that global (cough!) fest called Halloween.

Part of the problem, as I recall, was getting proprietary stuff to mesh with the Web. Poetic justice, eh? Still, I am actually rooting for Sony since a debacle would not be good for e-books. Thanks.

I think the ad guy is almost surely reaching to put the schedule in the most flattering light. Remember, iRex will be out there in September with a consumer-ready product, at least if schedules are kept. Sony doesn't want to lose sales to competitors. Still, I appreciate your point and will stick a question mark after the part part of the headline. As for the Connect folks, I have no idea. Let me know if you find something beyond the article I blogged some weeks ago. Thanks, Ayrkain.

In time for the holidays isn't necessarily November. Fall could still mean September-October. Sounds like the ad guy was taking a bit of poetic license. Back to speculating: Do you think the Connect people finally got their act together? Hrm. In time for the holidays isn’t necessarily November. Fall could still mean September-October.
