I'm thinking about buying the UX, but it has to be able to run Google Earth. Can you please share with me your experience?

Does it scroll and zoom in/zoom out smoothly? How does it compare to a desktop? I'm not expecting perfection, as long as it's usable and not overly sluggish.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a UX yet, but I was playing with the demo unit at the SonyStyle store here, and I downloaded and installed Google Earth on it. Glad the sales guy wasn't standing there peeking over my shoulder :-)

Anyways, it installed very quickly and ran very well. In fact, it ran just as fast as it does on any up-to-date computer. Wasn't sluggish at all, zooming was quick, images were crystal clear and easy to see.

Hope that helps!
