The Sony VAIO UX50 trumps the Microsoft Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) initiative before it even gets off the ground. Not content to just run with the crowd, Sony reminds us all that they were doing UMPC since before UMPC was even an acronym in Intel’s techy little dreams. So, what happens when a seasoned veteran takes on the buzzword heavy world of specialized PCs? Read on to find out

I got it this morning. Sent at 7pm from Japan on Saturday and got it 8am this morning (Tuesday). Wow. I’ve just charged it up and had a first play. Wow. That’s all I can say.

Tiny, pin sharp screen. I looked back at my powerbook screen and it looked blurry for a second.

p.s. writing this on the thumb keyboard. Easy to use, and pretty quick.
