The Road Handy PC looks interesting especially since it has a built-in keyboard.

I agree the Road HandyPC does look very interesting. I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I'm also looking forward to checking out Sony's mylo.

Sony is another company I could do without. Their business practises are right up there with Microsoft and Apple.

Bleh! :x

There's no disputing that there business pracitces suck. I just thought the device was interesting. Most likely I won't actually be buying one, since it will probably be way overpriced anyway.

Will a higher powered version of the 770 ever be released?

Sony is such a big company it's really hard to make sweeping statements about them. I believe they're actually considering suing themselves for their stance on DRM (if they haven't done so already).

The hardware divisions want freedom and openness, no DRM and Linux on everything, while the music division wants DRM everywhere and everythign locked down. Sony is it's own worst enemy, so I'm not too worried.

And unlike Apple, their hardware actually IS better, not just shinier. :D
