While we know how pricey the Sony VAIO P Series may already be, we didn’t get to really try it out and get hands on with it recently. After having done that at the Gadget Show Live recently, we truly agree that if you had the desire and the money to spend on the new Sony portable beast then you should also drop your coin on this, Vaja’s leather made “ivolution suit”.
Just a gallery we wanted to feature to everyone, as we finally got our hands on the highly notable yet controversial (netbook or laptop?) Sony VAIO P Series. It was light, stylish, highly portable and with great specs such as GPS and on board mobile broadband yet I can imagine, my eyes would be extremely tired after constantly starring at its 8-inch widescreen for a little while.
Here’s our third gallery of all the cool new gadgets we’ve seen at The Gadget Show Live 2009 at the NEC. In the pictures below we got to see the BeBook, the Iomega Ego, a number of Sony products including the latest Sony P Series and also the Cowon S9.
The speculations of the Lenovo Pocket Yoga concept, a slim, P Series-like netbook which was leaked to the press by Lenovo earlier today has now been confirmed to be an aborted project which will never come to reality. Interestingly, Lenovo have had the Pocket Yoga concept for the past two years but didn’t think and still don’t think that it should be put into production. Sorry folks, no specs and I suppose there never will be, but it was wonderful to bare the hope of seeing the Pocket Yoga come to life while it lasted! 
As you may recall, Sony’s latest VAIO P series is packaged with the Gobi chipset which is more than capable of running on both HSDPA and EV-DO for connectivity. Unfortunately, Sony (just US?) has chosen to block HSDPA access and has locked the super lightweight, pocketable notebook to connecting only via a Verizon Wireless EV-DO connection. But now, thanks to blogger tnkgrl, Sony’s restrictive plans are now virtually non-existent and those without a VZW contract will not have any problems at all when looking to connect via HSDPA. Tnkgrl has successfully hacked the HSDPA on the VAIO P, allowing it to be utilized by those not afraid to void a warranty on the $900 machine.
