UMPC's and tablets really do not have any navagation issues that would need to be filled by Apple. The problem is that for a small jacket size mobile device a touch input only is not really what most would want as a touch type keyboard is still the prefered input for most. For larger tablets it is the same, while then the pen input would work most still prefer a touch type keyboad. There has never been any big demand for a pen input slate computer for the mass market, for the niche techies there is a small segment that do buy them.
What Apple should do is use the technology to create the first touch type keyboard jacket pocket computer that can run desktop programs since MS made the error of pushing the 7" devices that nobody wants.
