I happen to have a website with cheap designer clothes and I could use the benefits of getting in touch with my potential clients of course using Hi5, Twitter, Facebook etc. I guess traditional Marketing didn't foresaw the immense benefits of web 2.0 hehe I guess the whole idea is to promote your website using social tools like hi5 or twitter.

Nothing is worse than driving around in some fake Pontiac Fiero looking like a Ferrari and EVERYBODY knows it. And any true netbook fan who isn't BLIND will immediately recognize you as a poser if you get one of these Vanio fakebooks. I would rather have a 100% real Eee than a fakebook any day.

perhaps they should make a model that has the exact dimensions of the sony but when you open it up, there's just a mirror to look at yourself :)

don't get me wrong, i love sony products (usually) but the price of this is way out of whack compared to the competition. yes, they have pushed the envelope with screen res and built in GPS so you could (almost) justify the price of two bits of tech in one but it's pretty hard to do so in the current economic situation. i look forward to seeing one in the flesh and lusting after it. will last until i realise there ain't enough $$$ in the pockets to actually buy one.

maybe they won't sell too many and they'll clear the stock at more attractive prices…

living in hope :)

They may have faked them to make it look narrow, as though it had a trackpoint instead of a touchpad :) The photos don't seem to reflect 9.8″ x 7.3″ dimensions.
