And it can play back high def video filling the 1024x600 screen at 60fps. An incredible unit. Read the post for more details.

Sony's only has two short sights; first is to not have made it a phone but that I can live with that; the second is to not have made it work wirelessly to transmit to a tv so we do not need cabling. To bad that HP did not continue with adding features to the IPAQ 5555 as that appeared headed in this direction also. I, for one, look forward to trying it as I enjoy traveling lighter.
