ya, they were cool, and had great screens. unfortunatly, theres that sony premium pricing which hurt, and so they didnt sell too well. i have a sony pda and love it. it sux, sony just came out with an OLED pda that has a contrast ratio of 1000:1….ya, on a pda….and it has a hideaway keyboard…..grrrrrr…..wont get to see it in the states…...

contrast ratio is the ratio of the brightest white and darkest black. so the higher the ratio, the greater the quality. you get blacker blacks and brighter whites, just like Tide detergent.

Yeah it’s just the clie’s don’t wory.  I am gearing up like you wouldn’t believe for the PSP.  Converting all my movies to .MP4 format so I can play them on the go.  8)

Yeah as long as the PSP is still a go, I’m all in.  They’ll make so much money the first day on that thing.

Wow, I forgot the Clie existed, they were pretty cool, but I hadn’t heard anything new about them or seen any for a while.

Ya, Sony announced this, and basically started to leave them alone like a year or two ago.  I think?
