I too heard that some Motion people were visiting the CES but to make a business decision that the CES is not a good venue for their mobile products is just plain silly. People have very few opportunities to see how small the LS800 is and this would have been the chance for thousands to see it.

I hear that some of the senior Motion Computing people were at CES, but they didn’t have a booth because they don’t see themselves as having a consumer business.

It would have been cool if the Motion people at CES had carried LS800s in jacket pockets (www.segal.org/tablet/photo/). Judging by the people who gathered around me whenever I pulled an LS800 out of a jacket pocket at a medical conference such a guerilla marketing strategy might have gotten more notice than a booth.

I really doubt that Sony has abandoned VAIO U. There will be a slimmer and more efficient U as well as light weight. Just give it sometime. Sony does not show all of its cards at CES.

Well, you goaded me into this plug:

Sony hasn’t sold the U in the US for over a year now. I’d say that’s dead.

I’m letting people who actually have a 770 carry the torch. So get after it, Mike!

So it’s official that Sony dumped the U? Why aren’t others hopping in?
