As Sony JP promised, an updated VAIO UX90S has joined the popular line of VAIO U family. Instead of a ATA hard drive, Sony went with the Solid State Flash based hard drive.

Because of this new feature, VAIO UX has faster boot up and shut down times, longer battery life and it is even lighter in weight. No more noisy rotations of the drive either (remember some of those clicking hard drived?). VAIO UX90S even got a new look as you see above. On top of it all, Sone teamed up with OneSeg and added VAIO Mobile TV feature. Entertainment on-the-go is all we need nowadays. Due July 3rd, 2006 in Japan.

So the question is would you get a regular VAIO UX with 30 gig ATA HD or a 16 Gig Solid State HD?

VAIO had a smattering of a presence at Computex, with only a few VAIOs strewn around some of the more obvious booths like Intel, nVidia, etc. (more posts to follow).

Yet one thing Sony didn’t hold back on was the outside building ads. Sportin all the new wares on the side of one of the 4 show buildings. Pretty hard to miss these giant ads.

At some point in the near future I would like to be adding podcasting and even video casting to this site. Yeah, I know, my ambitions are high. Its just finding time to do all these things. If anyone wants to help out in some way shape or form, please do not hesitate to let me know.
In the meantime, on my way back from Computex I will be stopping by San Francisco and finding my way to Vloggercon, where I am hoping to pick up a few pointers on how to get myself up and running with video casting.

If you want to keep up-to-date on all that is going on with the Vloggercon, they have setup the Vloggercon Wiki.

It will be interesting to see if anyone uses a VAIO to work on their video blogs or podcasts. Do you know of someone who is doing just this, please let me know. I would love to hear about it, and I would even be happy to post a link to the site.

Not that I expect to find anything to do with VAIO at Computex, but its always a good source of new ideas. I (VAIOFanatic) will be in Taipei for the next week checking out all the latest and greatest from the Taiwanese companies. It will be interesting to see where they are taking both digital home product as well as new notebooks. These companies, after all, are the same ones who usually end up manufacturing all the stuff for everyone else.

If I do find anything that could become the next great dream VAIO that we have all been looking for, I will be sure to post something on it here.

Would any of the readers here (not that there are many) expect to find anything innovative from these Taiwanese companies?
