First Look at Sony's Tiny Vaio UX180p

"When I first heard about the Sony UX series, I nearly dismissed it because I just couldn't imagine that 1024 x 600 on a 4.5" screen could ever be readable. Yes, the price is certainly another issue-- consumers don't flock to spend twice as much on a "notebook" that's less than half the size of a standard ultralight. At least not in the SUV-lovin' US.

  1. Target Market by skiflyer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Normally I hate reading the "cool, but I would never use it" posts... but I'm really curious, what do you guys think is the target market for this device?

    Too small for all day computing, too big to drop in most pockets... the thickness particularly seems to be a kicker.

    Anyway geek factor, very high... practical factor, I'm wracking my brain and can't think of the application.
