Sony debuts pocket-sized notebook computer
Las Vegas (AFP) Jan 7, 2009 Japanese electronics giant Sony on Wednesday debuted a powerful, fashionable notebook computer small enough to fit in a purse or suit jacket. The Vaio P Series "lifestyle" personal computer is the size of a standard business envelope for mail and weighs a mere 1.4 pounds. "It easily fits in a purse and I know for a fact it fits in a jacket pocket," Stan Glasgow, head of Sony's operations in the United States, said as he unveiled a garnet-colored P Series Vaio in Las Vegas on the eve of the Consumer Electronics Show. "Aside from its design, it is a serious piece of technology." The mini-notebook has built-in Bluetooth and wireless Internet connection hardware along with global positioning satellite (GPS) technology. "You can be connected where ever there is a cell phone signal," Glasgow said. The stylishly small Vaio has a high-resolution 8-inch LCD screen. It is priced at 900 dollars and will be available in stores late this month, according to Sony. Related Links Satellite-based Internet technologies
