Is it for me? Of at this point, but I can't say that I won't sell my EEEs at some point in the favor of the P, since to me it does def offer great mobility in a great size, however by the time I'd be ready to do that (6mos-1yr from now) I'm sure some other company has matched or outdone this design, for instance the Asus sliding keyboard design idea COULD somehow enable this size but with a trackpad, which is something I miss. As a side note the Intel booth at CES (which did NOT btw have the Vaio) had the UMPCs/MIDs in one row and the netbooks in another (I'm talking about the ones that were out there to be tested not the ones behind the glass), and every time I went by there 3-4 times during friday, the netbook row was overwealmingly visited by women while the first row (UMPC/MID) had the "guys" around them, the people who either didn't know that much about them but were appealed bythe size and then the others who generally knew more about the devices than the Intel reps ;) the reps would at times even have some of "us UMPC-fans" sorta help out in explaining to the novices what this or that product was or what improvements it had, anyhow point being I strongly feel the Vaio P might have the same type of appeal as we saw at the Netbook side of the Intel booth!

For that price I would get the new oqo 02+, much smaller, similar or better specs I really don’t like it at all. For that price I would get the new oqo 02+, much smaller, similar or better specs
