Ultra Mobile Vaio = New Vaio P

Yesterday we had an article about a teaser from the Sony Japan site about a new Ultra Mobile Vaio that had the design of a paperclip. I have to point out that indeed I was wrong and it’s not a tri-fold design. But damn, when you do hold the new Vaio P from the side, it does look like a paperclip.

So what does this new Vaio P do that the old one didn’t? It seems like a lot actually. The features that stand out are the built in GPS, inbuilt 3G and an accelerometer and touchscreen sides on the LCD. This also seems to be the first new Vaio with the PS3 Remote Play feature we had talked about before. Look for this unit to hit store shelves in June with a $200 price drop, bringing it down to $799. Also new, lots of colors!
