Gearlog (with PC Magazine) has posted a hands on review of the UX series from Sony. The ultra portable computer has its ups and downs considering how these UMPCs still have not found their true identity in a world dominated by laptops and personal digital assistants. It would be interesting to see how the UX series will do.
The UX features a QWERTY keyboard that you expose when sliding up the screen, similar to a T-Mobile Sidekick. The keyboard, unfortunately, is also one of my pet peeves. It doesn't have the bumpy feel of a handheld keyboard. You actually have to use your nails to type effectively. Ultimately, my tasks were limited to short emails, IMing and web surfing. Longer writeups were extremely frustrating.
Web surfing is ideal because it comes with both WiFi and CIngular's WWAN technology. You basically have an internet connection no matter where you are.
