Sony Vaio Type U

So Sony has a new tiny Vaio out -- the Type U has a mere 5" screen, is only 1.2 pounds, and basically looks like a cross between a PDA and a laptop. No built-in keyboard, but it has a touchscreen. It runs Windows XP Home or Pro.

Not Windows Tablet PC Edition.

What was Sony thinking? This device looks perfect to run the Tablet software. This would seem to rank right up there with Sony's decision to release a music player that played only their weird Atrax format, and not even MP3.

That would be the ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) format.
