    I maintain a VAIO wallpaper collection and I am hoping to get the latest desktop wallpapers released with the fall collection of VAIO's. If anyone could post them here or e-mail me, I would be happy to make them avaliable to everyone. Thanks!

    I noticed Long Battery Life is now BLACK, not WHITE as before.
    It means LCD technology has changed?

    OLEDs are probably the answer.
    However, will they make laptops with OLED LCD soon?
    Will the cost increase?

    May I ask why you are doing this? Are you trying to build the biggest Sony wallpaper collection?

    Seems like alot of hard work but its amazing! My personal fav is the 1999 Time of Day Series. I love the background but also it reminds me of the PS3 version although that includes seasons as well.

    Keep up the good work :D

    I bought my first VAIO several years ago, an R505... been interested in the wallpapers ever since but there wasn't a good, unified collection online so I made one. I'm not aiming for the biggest (probably is anyway), but I think I have the best. I haven't attempted to amass all the monthly calendar wallpapers Sony has published over the years.

    EDIT: New walls are up, thanks again for the sumbissions
