Yes, we like you thought when you submit Sony to small organ – and that did not achieve success in a matter of fact – VAIO P that the Netbook from the manufacturer and the ancient Japanese believed that the excessive price for the device in a timely manner is an increase in excessive tax imposed by the excellence of Sony in often Hacbadtha phones, and that the attractive design of the computer may be enough motivation for some of his possession. But Sony’s attempt to justify this price very high – and going over a thousand dollars – of a working Intel Atom processor and specifications very traditional tried to convince us that the VAIO P is not a Netbook, and it is a single thing in itself “because it could be carried in your coat – only if you have a coat this with you from the ground up “, whatever this” thing “is in any case did not achieve any real success because of the high price compared to seriously get it actually specifications.

And here are the Sony re-try again, and after having described the category Netbook complete “as a conflict into the abyss” and is the description that we disagree with the phrase and detail, and is used to recognize this category which was shunned – after being forced from the market to recognize the actual achieved by including the category of Netbook of success and the unprecedented response – and provide us with Sony on a Netbook VAIO W with the name and price of $ 500. Computer carries the traditional description of the organs of Netbook and provides high-quality display screen measuring 10.1-inch display image accurately 1366 × 768 pixels lit LED, Intel Atom processor at speeds of 1.6GHz, Memory 1GB RAM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, webcam, 160GB hard disk capacity and that is running Windows XP.

Computer put on the market starting from next August and is available in three different colors are pink, white and brown. Although the price is still high compared to what already is available in the market is currently all the producers of computers almost adults, but they will try more prudent than trying to previous company with the VAIO P.

We’re showing the conceptual drawings here today. In another few weeks we’ll have the first working prototypes in our office.

This launch prototype is another significant step forward from the last prototype. The screen is now flush with the case and we’ve decreased the overall thickness to about 18 mm. The case will be aluminum, which is more expensive than plastic but is sturdier and lets us shave a little more off the overall thickness of the device.

I believe the device now actually looks better than the original concept design we published last summer. Compare the images below to the first prototype and you can see how far we’ve come. If you’re interested, here’s Prototype B. Pictures of Prototype C, which is the device we’re actually demo’ing to people now, are here.

A lot has happened behind the scenes, too. Our partner Fusion Garage continues to drive the software forward, and we are in deep discussions with key partners to bring the device to market. If you’d like to see the previous CrunchPad in action, we have a previously-private video available on YouTube that shows our vision for the user interface and the last version of the software stack. This is a Linux based operating system and a Webkit based browser. The device boots directly into the browser.

The next time we talk about the CrunchPad publicly will be at a special press and user event in July in Silicon Valley. If you’d like to be emailed when new news comes out, send an email to crunchpad@techcrunch.com and we’ll put you on the list.

Here is the near-final industrial design for the CrunchPad:

The idea of sliding the keyboard will not only benefit the problem of cooling the components of computers and phones, but open the way for a new computerized keyboards for mobile helps to relax the hand when using the keyboard. There is no information about the intentions of Asus convert this experiential model to a real product or when that might happen.
