Just seen on one of our Sony posts is a comment from Brett out in Asia. He says that Sony said that…all will be revealed on the 5th. We dont know exectly where this info comes from (we’re trying to contact Brett although we suspect he’s sleeping right now) but its worth keeping an eye out for new info in the next 24hrs. Well be watching too. New Sony ultra mobile PC info includes specs and a sub $1000 price. | UMPCPortal – The Mobile Internet and Computing Reference Site.

A more serious attempt at an audio post. Again doing everything on a UMPC. Time to post was about 4 minutes and im standing while I do it! MIDMovves Quickcast 1

It was bound to happen. I’m actually suprised it took this long to get Android on an X86 PC as it was always said in the early days that Android would be processor agnostic. The question now is, can the developers get a productivity suite up and running in a short timeframe? Online apps are good but there’s still a big need for offline apps. If it can be achieved then why not a thin, 1.5lb, 10-hour Android-based netbook at $299? In order for ARM to make netbook sales progress […]

Our podcast partner, Sascha, from EeePCNews.de (which has just relaunched as netbooknews.de) reports that he’s secured some new info on the Sony UMPC. Wie ich schon auf Eeepcnews.de berichtete, wird der Sony Vaio P eine Atom Z520 CPU (1,33 Ghz) aufweisen, 2GB RAM, HDD und optional SSD, GPS, UMTS und das alles zu einem Preis, der sich wohl im Bereich um die 700 Euro einpendeln duerfte. The Sony Vaio P will run on an Atom Z250 (1.33 as we’ve tested on the WiBrain i1 and Kohjinsha SC3) with 2GB RAM, […]

This video, taken at the Viliv launch event in Korea, shows some nice detail about the cube user interface on the Viliv S5. It’s an interesting way to tackle the problems of using a desktop OS with a finger. Of course, when you get past the UI you’re dealing with the same old problems but these sort of layers could make XP more attractive and friendly to MID buyers and yet still give the power users the back-end they require to do productive work. YouTube user ’59hjh’ has other videos […]

Update: Some specs were sent to us. Apparently they’re from a ‘reliable’ source. See below. If you scroll down on this CNET Asia article you’ll see an image of an ultra-wide Sony UMPC. There’s no confirmation that it’s the real deal but it looks like its about the right dimensions to match previous leaked info. Also in the article is a mention of a new Q1. Are these just CES wishes or does Kevin Kang have some inside info? Sony P-series, “Netbook” design finally leaked? – CNET Asia Blogs: DigiHunter […]
