"Hands-On Review!!!"
Pros: Excellent screen, Great battery life for this type of unit, Great wifi range.
Cons: bulky and a little to big, can't fit in pocket. Hard to use keyboard.
Summary: I used this unit for about an hour at a friends house. This friend happens to be the product manager for Sony USA. I have to say it felt well built. Typical sony quality. The Xbrite screen is the same as the U-series but has a slight sparkle effect due to the fact that its a touch screen. I was told it last for about 3 hours with wifi on and heavy usage. I did feel like it was a little bulky. Your not going to slide this in and out of your pocket easily. Its almost too big, OQO had the right shape and size but it was riddled with problems. Also, one thing I need to mention is that its hard to use the keyboard because of the distance between your hands when holding it. The middle keys are hard to hit. You almost need to let go of the sides and hold it from the bottom of the keyboard..very strange and sometimes frustrating because you feel like you will drop it if you do this. Everything else was great. Great wifi range. Great perfomance with processor intensive programs.Overall I think its a very good device minus a few shortcumings.
