I can see that it might be a shoe-in for various niche markets, but wake me up when it's about half that price. _________________________ -- roger

Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12341 Loc: Sterling, VA	Oh, I agree, Im just saying that when you look at the other products like the Samsung and the one from that company I've never heard of before, this thing is like a design triumph in comparison. And actually I'm reading a few things that suggest this isn't really a UMPC, but more of a Micro PC. I don't know of any official differences, but I will say that it looks much smaller than all the other UMPCs I've seen. _________________________ Matt

I thought UMPC was a Microsoft idea of a little device with no keyboard (tablet style) with a onscreen thumb-keyboard application. A micro PC has a keyboard and is more like a normal laptop, just fun size. As well as the Sony above, other notable examples would be the OQO and the Flybook. _________________________ Hussein

UMPCs are simply too large. I guess price is still the obstacle. I really like the OQO, but could never see myself spending that much on a device like that. _________________________ Matt
