Well we understand that the UX series is not an UMPC, but this is a PC that is really Ultra Mobile. Akihabara News has a good review of this device with the 16 GB flash drive and they are comparing it with the UX50 and with UX 90.

Or is is just me ? Well about few days back the same inquirer said that UMPC is a Disaster, and they had some valid point to that,
Now they have a new article with the title “UMPC killer revealed, reviewed” - Great lets get to see what they have in it. They talk about a 40″JVC TV amnd its review, then about some ATP Thumbdrive, then about some video card and then the only place i see a reference is the Review of ths Sony UX50 at Digital Trends(they have a rating of 9 /10 for this device), which the inquirer states
It has a unique design that sets it apart from the rest of the UMPC/Ultra portable segment and reminds us how exceptional Sony designers can be at time. The UX50 has a sliding full size keyboard with two cameras, a unique design, a touch screen and a honestly priced tag. The rest is also impressive. 1.06GHz Core Solo with 2MB cache, 512MB memory, a 30GB HDD, 4.5-inch TFT and HD Audio.”
So what do they mean by honestly priced tag. The UMPC has a 7″ much better size with pretty much the same config other than those few gimmics and they said it was OVER PRICED. So what do you think ? I understand that when bloggers weite about stuff it is their personal opinion as opposed to a REVIEW that the public can refer to. Go ahead tell us what you you think.
