Yes, *very* cool. But check out the new X40, and the advantage is not so 
great. My problem is that I am now convinced (from significant prior 
personal experience) that the Z1 would be expensive, slow, dogged by driver 
incompatibilities, prone to overheating, loud, and with short battery life.

Give me the IBM for real work, please... for the moment, Sony computers and 
PDA's are just good for showing off their looks and their cool factor (and 
the X40 has a cool factor of its own, too). My full respect to the Sony 
*designers* but their *engineers* still have a ways to go. :-)
