Hey guys,

Sorry this blog has not been updated for a while. It is not that I have not acquired new Sony/VAIO toys… I actually have….After I return from my overseas trip to good old Europe, I will post some developer stories of the newest VAIOs that will be of interest to some of you who are considering getting one.

I have been playing with Sony PS3 as it has become my truly home media server in the living room (sort of replaced my VAIO VGX-XL2 Digital Living System). Its newest firmware (1.8) has added DLNA and Locationfree goodness. PS3 Blu-ray player simply rocks, especially if you watch Planet Earth in its HD glory on my Qualia 005 LED TV.

I also recently picked up a VAIO Skype Mouse or as they market it - Mouse Talk.

I found it to be quite nice and great for traveling. It really matches well my X505 and since VAIO X505 does not have a mic, this mouse/skype phone is a nice addition. The mouse is optical of course and very light. As you see in the pic you can flip it open and make your Skype calls. Quality is as good and the same as on my dedicated Skype Netgear phone SPH-200. If someone calls you, it will ring and the LED indicator blinks. You may also use it as a speaker phone, quite handy! Sonystyle carries these in different colors: white, black and blue.
