Looks like a newer version of one of the older PictureBooks.

Well, the Dell Mini 9 is 9.1″ x 6.7″ so the width is about right for the keyboard, but the depth seems all wrong. I'm pretty sure even with NO bezel around the screen, the Dell Mini 9 doesn't have 2″ of waste in the screen. You can see this just from the dimensions above. This thing is going to have some oddball screen resolution, or things will just look really tiny/squished. I have to say that of the 800 x 600 resolution common on netbooks, the most bothersome dimension is the x 600 part, so I can't imagine they can go lower than that and get something that will browse the internet adequately. But hey, maybe it'll have some new auto-eyeball tracking auto-scrolling function or something…

It it comes from Sony it will:
1) be well made
2) look nice
3) cost too much
4) only type of memory card slot it will have is for Memory Stick.
5) come with some type of DRM so people can't pirate Sony's music/movie content.
