The consumer electronics giant unveiled the Vaio U for U.S. customers on Tuesday, touting a machine that's designed to be as much an entertainment hub as it is a full-fledged portable PC."</i><br /><br />C|NET is off its rocker to think this device will compete in the same market as the iPod. One is a personal computing device, the other a media player. An Apples to oranges comparison if ever I saw one. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/168500.jpg" />

Now way. This thing is four times the price of an iPod, has less storage, and is larger.

That said, I think this thing does a a good market. If only it shipped with the Tablet PC OS.
