Originally announced to only be shipping in Japan, Sony has come forth and announced that their Vaio W netbook will be shipping to the states sometime next month with a $499 price tag.

Just like its overseas brethren, the US Vaio W will be running Windows XP and feature a 1.6GHz Atom Processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Bluetooth, Ethernet, 2 USB ports and an SD card reader. Futhermore, buyers can opt for either a 3-cell battery rated for around 3 hours or the beefier 6 cell battery.

Unfortunately, there was no word of an SSD option, for those of you who like a bit quicker data access.
