That'll never be on a Sony product. BTW, that connector is one of the most pointless things ever to come from Palm. It tends to get a thin layer of transparent corrosion on it and you have to press hard on the synch connector and wiggle it to restore contact. Palm PDAs with this connector can also charge via the synch cable. The power connector design is equally silly, proprietary simply for the sake of being proprietary and more expensive when a standard USB mini B (like on the Tungsten E) would've been far sturdier and more reliable.
