Shortly after placing my pre order for the ux-50 I heard a rumors about the new ux-80 with a 2.0 mega pixel cam and faster processor, also with the ability to read the new memory sticks (obviously not released yet) that will be in 2, and5 Gb sizes. If you search google on ux80, you can find a couple of discussions regarding it but all in Japanese so I couldn’t make much out of them.

Does anyone know anything else about this model???

Blah blah blah.

Yes, the UX80 will be out shortly after the UX100 with 11MP camera an a rudder for steering.

If you're worried about a new UX80 version, then you should probably cancel your order since something new will be out around April of 2004.

I will buy now since it's a tax right-off for next year.

Yep, That's right - I just found a picture of the UX100 on the net, it's a real number cruncher. Look Here: http://www.korins.com/m/hye/tc/a5.htm

rudder for steering? Sounds good to me. When can I buy the UX100? Can't wait until 1st April 2004! :)

I hope that the UX50 will be upgradeable to rudder steering. I'm also hoping for a beutiful LED upgrade like the UX100 link provided by ScottG.

UX80? haha...the specs that you said you heard that were on the UX80 sound like it came from the BestBuy site :p.

When BB first put the UX40 and UX50 on their website, they claimed that it had a 2MP camera and a 400MHz CPU. They still say it's 400MHz, but they changed the specs on the camera :p

Look, don't even think about the "UX80" now. Keep your UX50, and you'll be as happy as can be. :)

A new UX80? You don't have the UX50 english version yet and now you are thinking on a "non existing&nbsp;UX80"...

I believe you must blame on Sony for&nbsp;this expectation, by releasing new gadgets every six months or less, that's the dark side of the&nbsp;consumer market ideology....

Come on,&nbsp;the NX70 doesn't have a year, and it's allready obsolete... :mad:

You want to be angery about obsolete?.. try a T615... Luckily I grabbed a T655, but i've heard that somewhere... ; )

I'm on the waiting list for the UX100.

It's supposed to ship on or before September 12th, 2005. :)

What hooked me was the 3.1 digit display interface as per Scott's link. I wonder if it's transflective -- or one of those new "Organic LED" types...

Organic or not - don't know.

LED - Yes, I am sure it is LED.

Will the rudder be included with the unit or will we have to buya it separately? What about software? I currently own Rudder 1.0 - will I have to buy the upgrade or will the new Rudder be backwards compatable? What about future upgrades? Will we be able to run Rudder 3.0 on the UX100 or will Sony screw us again and not provide an upgrade path?

Rudder 1.0 doesn't support the new Diagonal "Hires x" mode used by the UX100.

You need to run in backwards compatible "Hires +".

I heard a rumor that Rudder-soft is working on a compatible upgrade as soon as the Handera version has been released.

Actually, the UX80 won't be released until mid-January of next year. You can read the official press release here, but you have to make sure that you maximize the window to full screen before the hypnotic spam ad ends or the page won't load properly and you have to delete some cookies before you can try again.

UX80?? Phh... I'm waiting for the UX2000 (http://www.telemann.com/products/ux2000.html) with the satellite receiver and smart card reader. However, this model does not include a screen or a rudder. Just after sales on this model start to drop, Sony will release a new model with those new features and call it the UX3927.4, forcing everyone to upgrade.

I think we all should wait for the perfect Clie. The rudder feature will guide us through the sea of change...

Who knows? Maybe the "legendary perfect CLIE" will also feature wings so we can fly through the winds of upgrades... ;)

Jump on the train of technology whenever you can or feel that you can, and don' t think about future upgrades, that will undoubtly come in six months tops. And keep the unit for as long it will serve your needs.

This is just in: UX50000

It's going to have a 52.0 gigapixels camera and is compatible with the memory stick super-ultra mega duo pro

This is the unit right here -----> .

So compact, eh?

I heard that the UX100 has a 2GHz CPU, it is gonna drain a lot of power and piss you off more than you would like it to. Since it runs power from your piss, I guess that wouldn't be a problem.
