I'd be happy if it could playback 1280x720p HD movies.
The 1,6Ghz was reported to only playback 720x480p,but the 1,3Ghz might have issues with this type of video.
It's a pretty good resolution for a screen,which is the least sony can do when seeing it's exaggerated pricetag for a (cheap) Atom based mininotebook/MID/whatever ultra small internet device this is.

I'm much more for 16/9 though. 1280x720 would probably be enough for most 'toys' like these, and would save on some cost.

Pitty they didn't go for the LED controller; but chose the old 'joystick' type of mouse instead.

A friend got one of these yesterday. Seems to play a 720 video file well enough, but stutters for YouTube's HD videos (cuz' they're flash?)
Texts will require magnifying glasses..

That trackpoint will be much liked by Thinkpad users like myself..Can't believe Lenovo released a netbook, and didnt put trackpointer on it.

i think it depends on what file format on 720p it will play properly. likely, the mpeg4 format will be difficult for the atom.

"It's not often, then, to hear the designer ... speak out on his inspirations and thought for a product." Take a look at http://www.sony.net/Fun/design/activity/product/index.html. About video playback, some Japanese reviews seem to indicate that it depends on the software you're using.
