Sony UX280 series of slider umpc


This was probably the first handheld that truly had the power, battery life, mouse, etc that made it truly portable. Only issue was that it was big for a pocket but great in a bag or purse with little weight. I have to admit I felt that the OQO2 was much nicer looking, more professional appearing but slower. The keyboard was good on the UX but did not match the feel of typing as did the OQO. It still must be considered a viable handheld unit and still maintains a strong following even though it has been discontinued.
