HD Video of the Sony UX50
Those folks at Akihabara News always get to play with the latest and greatest Japanese gadgets, probably because they are in Tokyo.
They have their hands on a Sony Vaio UX50 Micro PC, a name that is larger than the device itself, and they have shot some out of box (OOB) footage of the tiny PC. They spend a lot of the video waiting for the device to boot up and with it sitting in the dock but the rest of the footage is quite good and demonstrates how small the UX50 really is and how legible that high-res screen is, even at a distance. The reviewer certainly dislikes the junk-ware that Sony has seen fit to pre-install on the UX but other than that he seems to like the device. If you can’t get enough information about the newest Sony UPC then check it out.

Sweet! :)
The video is quite good, thanks for the link. I wish he would have spent some time with the UX in his hands and show us around the device itself. I’d like to get a better sense of the in-your-hands feel of the device. Hopefully someone will work on a video showing the sides and back of the UX.
Haha! His French temperament shines through. It’s hilarious when he gets all worked up!
Maybe someone will have a UX soon for a video review. I’m just sayin’.
Well, he’s got the phrase “Go to hell” down pat. I was also amused by the fact that the video was half over before Windows actually completed booting.
jk- I guessed you might be getting one :)
That video was , well , different. Interesting to see how many people are downloading it on the torrent – loads. Very clear video , but he practically only turned the thing on before he said he’d leave it down to the professionals. And quite why he didn’t try the keyboard is beyond me!
