I can’t help but wonder if the PS3 OS is also linux based.

That would explain why installing linux on it is so easy. It would also explain why sony is keeping that hypervisor on since otherwise PS3 games would play with no problem on the linux side.

Looks like your Vaio P ate a PSP!

Actually I quite like it.

I had a version of this on the Samsung Q1 UMPC a couple of years ago. It requires two operating systems so its not for the manufacturer that are faint of heart, to create, maintain, and update etc.

Now if a company would make the instant on OS a bit more optimized for business, perhaps instant access to an exchange capable email client, VPN client, some sort of network file browser. Giving you the ability to install firefox on that partition would be good too.

The Linux OS here looks very PS3 like indeed! Which is cool it is Sony after all.
