Sony's upcoming Palm-based PDA (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/2/11585.html), due to be demo'd at PC Expo this week, has also made an appearance on the Web, over at French language site PDA France. (http://www.pdafrance.com/)

As per the sneak preview Sony granted to the Wall Street Journal, the unnamed PDA is kitted out in standard Vaio colours but in all other respects is recognisably a Palm-style machine. The Memory Stick slot is located at the top of the device, and its scroll wheel - or Jog Dial, as Sony calls it - is over on the top left-hand side of the device.
