Sony VGN-U50 XP PDA Beer Garden Review


http://www.i4u.com/section-viewarticle-53.html



It runs normal Windows XP is of course the difference, which enables this PDA to run for instance full Internet Explorer. So surfing the web is as good as at any PC. Which is a very cool thing, for me at least.

For business user and IT service engineers this machine is I guess their dream device. its ultra-portable and has no limitation like Pocket PCs or Palm OS handhelds. They can run their specific applications on the VGN-U50 as they would run them on their desktop PCs. Especially if the application just requires point and click and not much text input this computer is perfect.
The other aspect is that Sony showed Oqo, Tiqit and Paul Allens Flipstart how its done.

Sony did not talk about it, they just did it and announced the Windows XP PDA when it was available. Of course it has a hefty price tag (starting at $1,899.00
) to boot.

Well, its not a Wi-Fi phone, but its close. You can connect a hsdpa modem, like the Vodafone USB Connect and connect to the internet. Once online you can use msn for video conferencing or SiP Talk Application from YTCnetworks.com to call mobile phone users.
