A lot of things Sony does don't make sense.  But I agree:  As I said the
hardware of the N707 and the N1 is mostly identical, so it is unlikely
either one supports it.  Maybe the N10, although to my udnerstanding this is
just an enhanced N1.  It could also be very well that no hardware outside
(or even inside) Sony's test labs supports this feature, and it is intended
for upcoming models only.

Thanks,
