“The long wait for notebooks based on Transmeta’s Crusoe
chip has ended, as Sony has released in Japan its first Vaio
laptops containing the chip.“
“Vaio PictureBook laptops containing Crusoe processors were
released in Tokyo on Saturday (Japan time), Sony executives
confirmed. For consumers, the most likely place to find the new
notebooks will be the Akihabara, Tokyo’s sprawling, modern
electronics shopping area, said sources in Japan.”
“Sony will follow up with Crusoe-based Vaios for the U.S. market
Oct. 25, according to Mark Hanson, vice president and general
manager of Vaio PC for Sony America.”
