On Tuesday, Sony took the wraps off of two new Android tablets, the S1 and the S2, but two other devices — the “Freestyle Hybrid PC” and the “Ultimate Mobile PC” — were also teased by Sony execs during its IT Mobile Meeting in Tokyo. Sony’s keeping the specs for both devices close to the vest for now, but the Freestyle Hybrid PC offers a tablet form factor with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard that doubles as a stand. Sony’s Ultimate Mobile PC appears to be a new thin and light laptop with HDMI-out, but its screen size and other specs remain unknown. We wouldn’t be surprised to see both of these devices break cover in time for the back to school season.

    They have done some cool things with computers in the past but their prices have been senseless…and they’ve had some issues with loading things onto peoples computers without permission.

    Ah well!

      Uh…I think that’s a bit of a stretch, to be honest.  The OQO (and similarly, the Sony UX) were a much smaller form factor that did not allow the regular typing use of it’s keyboard (think thumb typing versus the above’s regular typing experience).

    This “Hybrid PC” seems more as if it’s positioned to be a Windows-tablet, so that it can be used as either a slate (tablet) as in the first picture, or as a normal laptop would be used (in the second picture).

    However, unless Sony specifically stated somewhere that these are indeed Windows-based PCs, I think there’s still a chance that one or both of them could end up running Chrome OS (or at least, having the option to?).

    Can anyone give me an estimate of the size of the
    screen where Ultimate Mobile PC? And if it is supposed to have a dock
    which would be very excited.
