GearMania: Sony Won't Share

Gizmodo reports that Sony Style has leaked a tiny bit of info onn it's new, soon-to-be smallest notebook in the Sony line, the Sony Vaio Pocket. The "netbook" is so new that Sony won't say, or doesn't know, how much it weighs or how long the battery lasts, as witnessed by this "placeholder" image leaked online.

The book will run Vista (Really? Vista?) on a 1.33Ghz processor and, probably, be a bit over-priced like most of Sony's stuff. But the Vaio Pocket will still be worth checking out, once it's revealed at the 2009 CES, if only to see what a 1600x768 pixel, 8-inch LED back-lit screen looks like. That's bright enough to use the display as a signal light if you are lost at sea.
