Sony Vaio P’s instant-mode OS demonstrated in video

Posted in: Netbook, UMPC, software, sony, tags: , , , , , ,

Quick confession: I’m a fan of Sony’s instant-on mode for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. With a push of a button, I can go ahead and access all my favorite games and media in mere seconds. So I was a bit surprised and glad to hear that Sony has implemented the same technology on the Sony Vaio P. The Vaio P’s instant-mode gives users the ability to browse the Web on a Firefox-based web browser, access photos, videos and music, make VoIP calls with a built-in version of Skype, and chat with their buddies using the inbuilt Pidgin instant messenger. Above is a video demonstrating how it works, courtesy of UMPC portal.

    Am I the only one that thinks that 20 seconds is kind of silly for “instant on”? You can almost boot XP in that amount of time.

    Personally, I just keep my notebook in sleep mode when not in use, so it “boots” instantly. Occasionally, I also use hibernation, which is also quite fast.
