The model incorporates a high-resolution, 1600 x 768, LED backlit 8-inch ultra-wide display, making it easy to view two full web pages side by side. The LCD produces images in brilliant detail and has an anti-reflection coating to reduce light reflection.
The VAIO P has Instant Mode that directly launches into Sony’s Xross Media Bar interface for quick boot up and access to music, video, photos and the Web.
Based on Windows Vista operation, a range of software is supported, including those routinely found in full-size notebooks. Also, the Windows arrangement utility has been installed for organising all open documents or websites easily with one touch, and positioning them neatly alongside each other on a single screen.
A built-in webcam, noise-cancelling technology/headphones (only VGN-P15G), built-in wireless LAN 802.11b/g/Draft n and Bluetooth have also been incorporated to enhance the mobile experience.
Pre-sales of this product starts today, with RRP starting at $1,599.
Jumping on the budget camcorder revolution heralded by the Flip, it’s also launching an MPEG-4 ‘corder for uploading to social networking sites and YouTube at the click of a button. The MHS-PM1 Webbie HD MP4 Camcorder (so, ‘Webbie’ it is then), weighs just four ounces, so can be with you at all times. The screen rotates through 270 degrees, for easy self-filming, and it comes in three colours.
Oh, and the X Series Walkman we brought you news of yesterday is also launching this summer, with its 3-inch OLED screen as expected. The price is yet to be confirmed, but expect it to give the iPod Touch a bit of competition.
Sony also announced two new Sony Ericsson phones: the W508 Walkman mobile, and the C510 Cybershot. Both are 3G, with the former coming with eight customisable covers.
