The new VAIO UX Ultra Mobile PC

A lot of my research work is focused on mobile devices (mostly PDAs) and it is often frustrating tackling the limitations of such devices such as computational power limitations, screen resolution and size and operating system issues. Thus I was really interested when a new Sony device came to my attention, the VAIO UX.

Unlike PDAs this is for all intents and purposes a mobile Pocket PC, miniscule in size and equipped with Windows Vista too. While the price remains somewhat prohibitive at the moment it is my belief that mobile PCs will go towards this (rather unique at the moment) route rather than the more antiquated PDA/tablet path for the reasons mentioned above. Below you can find some links detailing the size and technical capabilities of the device as well as a more independent review of it.
