Remember the post that we had yesterday about the new Sony approval on the FCC, looks like it might be just the temp name for the Vaio UX180 that will be sold and listed on Sony’s Website.
Reggie of MicroPC Talk, prompted us (thanks reggie) that it’s the UX and nothing else and interestingly that sony might have been working on such a product even before microsoft announced the UMPC.
While the FCC shows that they have approved a Sony handheld device with model number PCG-1J1L, we believe that this is the Sony Vaio UX180P. PCG-1J1L is obviously a temporary model number since nowhere in all the
FCC documents mentioned �Vaio� when the image found in one of the documents clearly has a Vaio brand at the back (�aio� visible) .It is also interesting to note that Sony requested confidentiality of the device from the FCC on March 24, 2006, only a few days after the official announcement of the UMPC. This might mean that Sony was already hard at work designing their Micro PC probably way before the UMPC concept
was even thought of.
Check out the image which compares the FCC pic with the Vaio UX. Micro PC Talk has added arrows to show how the the PCG-1J1L is exactly as that of the Vaio UX 180P (VGN-UX180P)
