I fogot to mention. Sony Central on Murray (three doors down from Fast Eddies) 
have got one of these on display. Cute. Wide screen 1024 by 480 pixels. 
Very clear screen frmo any angle. Lifetime of around 3 - 4 hrs on normal 
battery, with an extended battery rated at around 15 hrs.

Comes loaded with WinME. It has 128 MB RAM, of which some 16 MB is taken up 
by a memory resident driver that acts as some sort of driver; I think it 
is to do with the cod morphing, etc. $3,800 or so. No on-board ethernet, 
but like all the VAIOs, does have firwire, USB. One PCMCIA slot 
(so you can put in PCMCIA ethernet/wireless eth/CD ROM/etc.
