    I think this will only be for new P models.

    It actually says it works for all models shipped after Winter 2009.

    I tried it, its pretty disappointing, the video quality is pretty low (on a wired network, I did not bother with wireless).
    Slight lag when moving around, etc.
    Really Not something I personally would ever find a use for.

    Tried it on my VGN-Z590 and it worked, as well as remote play does anyways. Remote keyboard might be useful.

    Remote keyboard did work but once enabled I could not figure out how to disable it, as it highjacks the bluetooth and only allows the bluetooth to work as keyboard for ps3. I could not find a button to switch back and forth or turn it off at all.
