Sony VAIO U50 Reviewed In Depth

Posted by timothy on from the not-a-budget-pda dept.

LabRat007 writes "PDA Buyer's Guide reviews the Sony VAIO U50/U70, the hybrid PC/PDA that has beaten both the FlipStart and OQO to market. The short version? They like it, but it's too expensive. Editor in Chief Lisa Gade provides the typically in-depth review, with pictures and words and everything." The design looks great, but the price -- yow!

    Lisa Gade provides the typically in-depth review, with pictures and words "and everything".

    I bet more /.-ers out there are wondering about Lisa's "and everythings".

    These things will remain rich men's toys for the forseeable future.

    Will rich women be allowed to buy them too? After all, they are a growing demographic.

    yeah, you should have. windows can be configured to only display the logon box once you've pressed ctrl-alt-del, which apparently is trapped by the kernel, and can't be intercepted by a fake logon dialog to sniff your logon details.

    its a pity that when microsoft implements security features, people still find ways to mock them.

    What do you mean?
    Ctrl-Alt-Del, itself, is an example of physical security. Tell me you've never hit the wronf key...

    But does it have an "any" key?
