The Open Pandora Handheld UMPC device is better, it costs £220, has an arm cortex CPU, Wifi, Touchscreen, keyboard, dual SDHC slots, and 512MB NAND and 256MB RAM, with 10 Hours plus battery life. Already seen working Firefox, Ubuntu, Angstorm, Quake 2, Amiga Emulator, Sega SMS/MD/Genesis Emulator, Atari ST Emulator, SNES Emulator, Playstation Emulator, plus sheds loads of stuff being developed by Community.

This thing is the size of a Nintendo DS and man is it powerful, first batch sold out in Days –> due out in Late FEB/early MARCH 2009

How does it compare to the brand new OQO 2+?

Regular HDD is lame. So they don’t even try any power saving measure. They only charge you a couple hundreds “Sony tax” for a weird ratio screen.

Sony mini laptops are lame, their old ones ran on Crusoe chips are worse design than the original Toshiba Libretto. There I said it.

Please stop insisting that C1MV has 1280 x 600.
C1MV true resolution is 1024 x 480.

I had said it before – the picturebook (I got the C1VFK) is the best true portables I ever had, of course time and various other aspects taken into account. I really, really hope this is true. And FWIW, the wide aspect of the C1 is one of the reasons I consider it to be so good. The keyboard is another reason. The extremely convenient scrool-wheel on the side another reason. Hopefully Sony stick to old lessons, and recreate something that good. And running Linux on it will be very easy in that case. I cross my fingers!

I wonder what will be the price

Think Intel Core 2 Duo, think Intel L7200 or U7700.
Later versions will have a HSDPA modem built-in.
Price tag starting somewhere beyond 1500-2000 USD.
No, this ain’t no netbook.

It was a deliberate marketing leak I suspect. Unlikely that someone was editing the live site.

Yep, looks like they took it down from the site, as there is no longer a P series listed. I seen it earlier (same as the screen shot above) when I first read this post, now it is gone. Obviously the details haven’t been finalized, as there were variables in the listing.

@ Dpep: Is that not exactly what people were saying about the 4.5″ 1024×600 screen for the UX series?

Sorry, KT posted this not JK.

There is no P series listed any longer.

@dpep- how is posting a screen shot from the Sony website (if JK cropped the pic himself) irresponsible?

If someone sent it to him he can’t know if it was photoshopped, but otherwise it certainly got my attention!

I was interested in a Sony netbook until I read it ran Windows Vista.

Stop being whores for Microsoft, Sony. It only kills your product. Develop a truly mobile Linux build or something.

The C1MV is 1280×600, I mean it doesn’t even look like a normal widescreen.

The C1MV is wider:
1280/600=2.1333
1600/768=2.0833

If they make it 1280×768 it will definitely have a huge space on the sides for speakers like the EEE 701.
