There are a lot of specs on the Japanese Sony website... 800x600, browser, good mailing capabilities, memory stick, A/V in etc... looks pretty good for a webpad... very good for my in-laws in Japan (still using a typewriter and all)

At least officially, they haven't released a price on it yet. It says it's "open", which tends to mean that retailers can set their own prices pretty widely. And that tends to mean the price nosedives after a few weeks.

With any luck, it'll be dirt cheap from competition by mid-January...
