    In a sign of the times, Sony has launched a Spanish language VAIO FJ in the U.S. that includes a Spanish language OS (Windows XP) and keyboard. Sony figures that with 31million US citizens over the age of five speaking Spanish at home, there has to be a market out there

    Hmm...interesante. Trate de postear aqui pero nunca quedo bien, bueno, de todas maneras, pienso que es un buen movimiento de parte de ellos, hay muchos latinos en USA. He ido a Houston y Miami en ocasiones y muy dificilmente he usado el ingles estando alla!! Es de esperar y ver que tan bien se vende.

    Seems a bit pointless to me. Lets just hope there isnt going to be a welsh sony notebook in the future.

    if you think about the fact there's been a big rise in Spanish language TV stations in the U.S. (Telemundo) that are doing extremely well, yet there's little catering done to Hispanics in the rest of the consumer market, it's worth a try on Sony's part.

    Very true. Whenever I have visited the States, I haven't had any need to speak English.
