Scott, the image shown above ended up being larger than the actual size probably due to my screen resolution. (the image measures about 8" across on my screen) It is a tiny little guy for sure. Cool little machine.

Looks like it might be hard to type on though... Way cool if you ask me!

It has blue tooth and little docking station with USB, Video out, VGA out and other goodies. Could make for a nice carputer with a drop down screen in the front.

Sony UX90S - Is the New Version (Japan Import)

Solid state hard drive, and much faster than the original.

Here is a review on the new unit on Utube:

Pretty cool new unit.

This is the unit I have been seriously considering to be used a nav system in the LC. None of the stores in the "Biggest Little City in the World" have one to see/play with...much less even have a clue what the heck I'm talking about when I ask 'em about it.

Anyway I am very interested in hearing from anyone that has taken the leap...especially someone running a GPS into it with TOPO and nav software...

I wonder how well it does with dust?

Cuz I know the Tacomas don't have AC filters in them and whenever I go to dusty locations I turn on my AC when I'm done wheelin' for the day/weekend and get covered in dust.


Anybody know a way to cure this? Or help the computer to not pull in dust?
