It sports a 4.5†wide SVGA touch screen and comes equipped with a stylus as well as an integrated keyboard which appears when the screen is slid up. Other features of Sony’s newest pocket-sized PC include wireless WWAN, WLAN and Bluetooth connectivity technologies; two integrated digital cameras – one in front for video conferencing and another located on the back for taking photos; a VGA adapter to connect the PC to a projector; an integrated biometrics fingerprint sensor; hard drive shock protection technology; and an included docking station with three 2.0 USB ports, Ethernet, VGA, iLink IEEE-1394 interface and an AV output.
“This model is an achievement in ingenious design,” said Mike Abary, vice president of VAIO product marketing at Sony Electronics in the U.S., in a statement. “With this pocket PC, you can have the same functionality as your office or home PC in a device that fits in the palm of your hand.”
