Hmm, guess I was under the impression they all used the 4-5" screens since I own a couple OQO's and have played around with the Sony UX models. I haven't had a hands-on with the Samsung models, but they looked to me to be the same size as the others. I guess the Japanese aren't too interested in any other of the UMPC models, as the only one you can really find is the Sony and it's sales have been super-slow. I've seen a few other small PC's, like the Toshiba mini-Tablet and the Kojinsha, but I'm not overly impressed with the amount of wasted space around the screens on either. I just can't understand why laptop/PC makers ruin a perfectly good laptop by putting in a tiny LCD when a larger one could fit som much better and still maintain the form-factor.

Man, I sure do miss Best Buys, CompUSA, and Circuit City since they carried such a wide range of electronics. Just the same 'ol tired stuff here. Guess it all boils down to cultural preferences.
