This probably explains why most of them are being targeted at businesses with deeper pockets. Sony is the latest vendor to roll out its newest UMPC, the smart-looking VAIO UX1.   It measures 95 x 150 x 38.2mm (W x H x D) and weighs in at a pocket-friendly 480g (around 1lb). It houses an Intel Ultra-Low Voltage processor, 1GB of memory and runs Windows Vista Business. There’s a 4.5in widescreen LED display suitable for boring old work or, watching movies and viewing photos, and there are two cameras – one for video and another on the back for taking snapshots.   The hard disk has been swapped out for an expensive 32GB of Flash memory which will make everything from boot-up to file loading very fast. Battery life is around four hours and, like all UMPCs, it can be operated using the keyboard, stylus or touch-screen.   When it ships next month, all you'll need is around £1,700 + VAT.</blockquote>
