Great another over priced cable box for $500 who's only purpose for existence is to sell me more stuff. It seems pretty and takes a page out of Adam design with that radiused back on one long side.

I've been wondering when one of the game console makers would start pushing people to a tablet and here is that device.

I did notice its pretty light at just 1.3lbs (~588g).

Does it use Gorilla glass? What sort of touch interface? Active or something less useful for some of us like capacitive? I need something with an active touch option for pen use and input.

I don't dislike Sony but neither do I trust them. I was heavily invested in their PalmOS based system and when they simply dumped the line it really affected my longer term productivity as old PDA's croaked from use. Plus Sony for me the Sony name just does not have the cache it once did.

Still it will be interesting to read reviews and experiences people have. If Sony would add an Android based Walkman then it might be a combo I would find useful. The smallish screen for my uses does concern me though.
