Perhaps this posting comes too early, as it happened when I posted, more
than a month ago, asking for first-hand experiences on the Sony News 3250,
and got no answer then.

Toshiba is selling in Europe (and Japan) a Sparc-based portable. It weighs
as much as the Sony, has a 1152-by-900 pixel display (better than Sony)
and similar I/O capabilities. It costs more ($14,000) and the performance
is inferior (a SPECmark of 10). I don't know about the screen technology.
Shortly it's expected also in US.

Is there anyone in Europe who has tried it?
