Sony is taking its Vaio brand name and extending it to almost every area of the market. Plans for PVR, iPod like devices and more are taking shape. I'm interested in the Type U in the article.

"Type U"--a machine that may be the world's smallest Windows XP-enabled PC. Despite its small contour--it's 167 millimeters wide, 108 millimeters tall and 26.4 millimeters deep--the tablet-like PC features Intel's ultra-low voltage Celeron M 900 MHz processor. It is designed to be manipulated with both hands, similar to some portable game devices. The device has a small LCD (5-inch SVGA), and it can be operated by stylus as well as by built-in buttons. A detachable keyboard is also an option. The device has 64MB video memory, allowing users to connect to a full-size display.
