And this is no ordinary delay. We're talking November 2005 for the US release! So where is this latest speculation generating from? Good question. Industry analysts PJ McNealy of American Technology Research and Piper Jaffray & Co. are projecting the delay, citing both hardware and software concerns. Most notably, is the battery life issue, which has been estimated to be as low as 90 minutes. On top of the hardware issues, it's unlikely that a significant software library would be available in time for Sony's planned release dates of December (Japan) and March (US). Stay tuned for an official announcement from Sony.
