Uhh...
I see nothing, and if this post refers to the reference on Engadget earlier, it is fake (Photoshopped).

Well, it's Sony so that little thing is probably $2000 plus and not even close to a competitor to the Nxx0 series. It looks more like a competitor to the Mini 9, eee, and others of that type in the $350 to $450 range.

I agree with Munk. The Sony/Vaio label almost guarantees a $1000 price premium, and some people aren't too enamoured with Sony's penchant for all technologies proprietary.

Still, I must admit that the size and format of this little bugger looks quite sweet. Although 1600 horizontal pixels on an 8" screen is probably pushing it a little too far...

rumor says it starts from 5000 HK$, which is about $700~$750, have to admit that it's expensive for me even at this price.

Engadget are saying that prices will start from $900

This really needs a touchscreen and good Linux compatibility, but it does look rather nice, and $900 is a surprisingly reasonable price.

You really think $900 is reasonable? Meh, no thanks. It needs to be closer to $500 to be reasonable.

and it's around £900 in the UK too!

I second this - I was expecting a price of $499. It will drop to that point in a half year anyway.
