SSD needs to be running SATA into the motherboard! Right now Sony cripples the SSD by running it through a SATA to PATA convertor that takes away much of it’s raw speed.

Sony needs to unlock the VT-x support in the Z520 so we can use Windows XP Mode! Right now Sony’s premium Lifestyle PC saves $1.98 with Intel by going out of it’s way to permanently turn off VT-x (for which Intel then apparently cuts them a break on the Z520 chip price).

Sony needs to step up and kick in some $$$ for a real GMA500 driver. Even the production Win 7 RTM driver has some irritating issues that take some of the polish off this gem of a mobile device.

Why on earth did they put in a Gobi chipset and then lock the silly thing to Verizon? Set my P free!

Fortunately I had an ancient Apple Firewire AC wall brick that I believe came with my 1st gen iPod. I was able to use the removable fangs from that brick to use them with my P’s AC brick. Having a set of retractable fangs to carry around has been a very nice addition, Sony really should include these themselves (especially for the price they’re charging.)

Instant On OS should use VT-x. If Sony had stolen VT-x to implement a backgroundable Instant On OS I would have forgiven them. But they didn’t. It would make this device far more “Life Style” for me if the Instant On OS used VT-x mode to run as a peer OS and let me flip back and forth between it and work mode to control my “personal” media I’m enjoying whilst in work mode.

Change that proprietary video/ethernet connector for HDMI 1.4. A “Life Style” PC should be able to jack right into my wall panel no adaptor required right? And HDMI 1.4 allows for Ethernet down the HDMI connector.
