Sony announced that it plans to launch he Vaio UX Premium Micro PC - a flash drive based version of its VAIO UX Micro PC. This is a fully-functional, pocket-sized computer.
The UX Premium Micro PC would include the features of its predecessor, such as an Intel Core Solo processor, wireless LAN and WWAN access capabilities, a 4.5-inch touch screen, and a keyboard that slides out from behind.
The display is capable of a 800x600 resolution and the device also has Bluetooth and a fingerprint reader. Along with the front camera for video conferencing, there is a camera in the rear for snapping pics, and the UX also can plug into a VGA adapter for powering an external monitor.
The main difference would be a 32GB flash memory drive. These drives, also known as Solid State Drives (SSDs), have no moving parts and hence are faster than your traditional hard disk drives. This enables faster speeds for booting up and accessing programs as well as for storing data. In addition, flash memory uses less battery power than a spinning hard-disk drive.
The UX Premium Micro PC was shown at the CES earlier this month. It would be available in black and cost about $2,500 and comes loaded with Microsoft Windows Vista Basic.
