Fred & Intel Investors - Sony is Showing a Pentium Based Mini NoteBook at Comdex:

There is a battle brewing between the Windows CE hand helds (almost exclusively non-Intel) and these new mini notebooks from Toshiba (Libretto), Mitsubishi and now Sony - which all run REAL WINDOWS!

My bet is that the mini's win!

Sony previews
mini-notebook

comdex LAS VEGAS--Look closely at the
Sony booth and you still might not see the
company's newest offering--a mini-notebook
less than an inch thick and weighing under
three pounds, a product that could drive
mini-notebooks into the mainstream.

Sony wants to put its stamp on this emerging
market with the PCG-505, the newest of the
Vaio notebooks introduced today in Japan.
The diminutive device comes with a 133-MHz
Pentium MMX processor, a 1GB hard drive,
32MB of memory, and a 10.4-inch active
matrix display. It's currently priced at around
$2,500.

Other unique features of Sony's stylish
notebook is a stylus for inputting handwriting
on a touchpad, which typically functions as a
mouse pad. Conceivably, one push of a
button could launch a frequently used
program.
