Not sure how they can try to market the UX as a PDA, as it is clearly in the UMPC area; though a bit larger than I'd want to carry around. Here in Japan the second-hand laptop market is quite huge, and suprisingly enough you can pick up one of Sony's UMPCs for >$1000. Of course when you see how many are being sold, you have to wonder why people are trading them in. That's what I ask myself, and initially I was really wanting one. Guess I'll wait as see what comes next, and yse, the Sony UMPC does come with an integrated fingerprint scanner.
