Just when you thought micro-print couldn't be any smaller, Sony released a new
palmtop PC with a 4 screen?!? at a resolution of 1024x600! Get ready to squint
hard!  (and I thought their last U50/U70 series had absurdly small screens with
too-high resolutions!)

Chicklet keys are back again, but one wonders how bad they are to type on (the
prior U series with tiny keyboards were no good).

And one wonders why?

They could have easily dropped in a more usable keyboard by simply installing a
wide-screen, like a 7 or larger LCD panel (GPS on a 4 screen will hurt!).
They could have kept the same weight - we know that from their prior Vaio X505
series, which had a larger screen and keyboard.  And they could have integrated
a built-in GPS unit (why use an external one at all?!?) for the $2000 it'll
cost. Or simply made it super-thin like the X505 series.
