A Message From Blio, But Still No Revised Release Date

[Note: updated information can be found here.] This weekend, people who signed up for updates about Blio got the following e-mail. It doesn't say when it's actually going to be released (after missing its initial February 2010 launch date), only that they are "putting finishing touches" on the product and will notify subscribers to updates when the software is available for download.

Well,  we shall stay tuned indeed. Meanwhile, the competition isn't going to sit still. Microsoft Reader has many similarities with Blio, including that it's free. I still have a hunch Blio is going to be better than MS Reader, but you know what they say: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
