Sony ultraportable VAIO U71 notebook now available from U.S. retailer

Mobile Planet, one of the largest mobile computing web-based retailers, has recently begun offering the Sony U71 handtop computer (previously reviewed by us on 2/23)–including most of the available accessories. While Mobile Planet is still describing it as a ‘Japanese-market’ product, I believe this is another positive sign towards the eventual full U.S. distribution of the U line of portable computers by Sony.
