Here's one way to draw attention to a product. Take a group of hired models and dancers, arm them with Sony's clutch-sized Vaios — like the P Series Lifestyle PC — dress them in the clothes of emerging designers, parade them all around Manhattan, and what do you get? A brilliant marketing campaign by Sony.

The Wall Street Journal Blog notes how this joint fashion-tech campaign will kick off NY Fashion Week in a couple of weeks, with models wandering through the Bryant Park tent on Feb. 13 and 14. — still toting their Sony laptops.

And starting tomorrow, you'll be able to track the models and IM them from Sony's Go Lightly site. Sony will also be posting photos and videos from the campaign on YouTube, Flickr, and Facebook.

Tight squeeze, eh Sony? Some new promo pics of the new VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC have enraged some Japanese bloggers who are ashamed by the ad's unrealistic size portrayal.

Considering it is the world's lightest 8-inch notebook, it's not totally outlandish to assume it might be able to fit in the pocket of a pair of jeans. But then again, Jimmy Fallon could barely fit it in his jacket pocket, which leads to me believe a pair of my hip hugging jeans would definitely be out of the question. What do you think? Are you more ticked off that it's not small enough to carry in a pocket, or are you peeved that the ad is inaccurate?

After spotting a countdown ad on the Sony New Zealand site right before Christmas, it was pretty much guaranteed that Sony would be announcing something exciting during CES. Well here you have it, the world's lightest 8-inch notebook — the new VAIO P Series Lifestyle PC. Weighing in at only 1.4 pounds, this beauty comes with great screen resolution, WiFi, Bluetooth, built-in webcam, and its LCD display is LED-backlit. Comparable to the chic Vivienne Tam HP Laptop, this netbook will be available by early February and will be come in black, white, red, and green. Prices start at $900.

Now that Macworld is looking pretty bleak, it's no surprise that tech companies like Sony are looking to cash in on the CES/Macworld buzz, which usually entails the unveiling of hot new gadgets. Well the Sony New Zealand site has just debuted a new countdown ad, which states that a revolutionary new Vaio will be announced on January 9. Exciting, but what I want to know is will it be just as revolutionary as the rumored Mac Mini desktop?

Breast Cancer Awareness month is almost here, and with that, there's always pretty-in-pink gadgets to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. We debuted the Pink Ribbon DS Lite this morning, and now Sony is getting in on the action for the second year in a row with pink laptop bundles. The Sony VAIO CR pack includes a 14.1-inch LCD screen, a Core 2 Duo CPU, a built-in DVD burner, and a matching case and mouse, while the VAIO SR comes with a 13.3-inch LED backlit display and up to 320GB of HDD space. Bundle prices start at $870 and $1,399. They haven't shown up on Sony's website yet, but I'm sure they'll be available for purchase starting on the first of the month.
