Sony launching something, maybe a netbook?
Liliputing —
Sony has posted a teaser page on its New Zealand site for… something. Apparently the company will be launching a “revolutinary new VAIO” notebook that will “change the way you look at laptops. It could be a netbook or some sort of ultraportable laptop. or it could be something else altogether.

... price. For sure fans of Sony's slightly quirky laptop design may well be tempted to buy an ultra-portable version, and not care too much about how much it costs, but with excellent machines with good specs and improving design already on sale below $500, Sony's pricing will have to be pin-point perfect if it is to make a big splash.
