Tiny Sony VAIO Pocket laptop accidentally revealed?
You may remember that tease Sony was playing earlier this week about its non-netbook netbook, showing us a mere shape of the upcoming tinybook? Now the company accidentally leaked a couple of pics and a few specs on its website, showing us what might be the upcoming PC it's calling the VAIO Pocket.
These pics could be just placeholders, though, because this pictured laptop doesn't look rectangular enough to match that shape Sony was teasing us with earlier this week, nestled in the hands of that lovely model.
Look at that cute bauble, sporting an 8-inch LED-backlit 1600 x 768 screen, a 60-gig hard drive with an available 128GB solid-state drive, and a 1.33GHz Intel processor. When it finally ships, the VAIO Pocket will be available in red, gold or black. That most important spec, its price, was not listed, but if it's under a grand, we'll be tempted.

How could it be a pocket PC with a large portion of width reserved for the touchpad? But that's neither Sony nor Microsoft nor Intel policy -- it's Pentagon enforced restrictions on the PC as a highly strategic product to prevent it from going into the pockets of members of subversive organisations in the outback who could then use it for large-scale networking. Hence you'll see it come with a couple of other features preventing in-field use such as mains dependance for charging the battery i.e. no commercial batteries for long term energy reserve in the outback, as well as a screen you can't read in broad daylight. It's sad, but security issues are withholding the best possible PC products from the market. Remember Sony's real pocket-size high-end PC? I bet the US department of defense had ordred MS and Intel to stop their vital supplies to Sony for this one. Remember the Poquet PC? I bet it could never get an Intel processor and Windows compatibility because of the Pentagon's veto.
