Why doesn't SONY market this great stuff in the US?

The VAIO type U is much closer to what I want than the dreadfully unoriginal tweener-rehash about which I have already complained

Sony made some different design decisions than I would have made based on their usage scenarios of "on the train", "in a box with a fox", "in love with a doofus". I have a tremendous respect for the industrial designers at Sony and conceed that they probably do know better than me what I would like out of my ultraportable.

For the record, the big changes are:

1. I don't really want it to have a dockable cell phone as much as I really want it to be walkman or portable TV that I can keep in my coat pocket.

2. When I am not in the office, I will hold the thing with two hands like a gameboy and punch in the secret pattern with my thumbs (Toward, Down, Down-Toward, Toward + A)

The big things that are exactly what I said I wanted was:

1. Better ergonomics for viewing, using, and not holding against your face
2. Nice pen interface
3. Good price
