Amidst the excitement of its first Android tablets, Sony's presentation slides on the Ultra Mobile PC and the Freestyle Hybrid models were, unfortunately, given little notice. But for those who prefer a traditional Windows-based portable, these new designs deserve a closer look.

The Ultra Mobile PC appear to be a 13.3-inch ultrathin notebook, while the Freestyle Hybrid is an Atom-based 9.4-inch Netbook which adopts a slider design. The latter may be available in Q3 this year with a starting price of US$799, which is rather pricey for a Netbook considering that most models in this category starts at S$399 (US$320.58). Still, it'll be interesting to see how Sony adds value to the Netbook to justify the premium. Asia-specific information is not available at this time, but we'll be keeping an ear out.
