I know, this is really not a reader, but there are a lot of early adapters out there, so I thought I'd solicit opinions.

I'm thinking of getting an Ultra Mobile PC as a replacement for my aging HP laptop. I don't need a lot of power, but some kick ass games would be a nice touch. (Not essential.) I use it mostly for MS Office apps and for some browsing, but would like to have more net capacity. WiFI and broadband would be nice, but broadband is more important at this point.

I've looked at some and am leaning toward the Fujitsu, just becasue the tradtional keyboard is more appealing, but the Sony is intriguing.

What is, in your opinion, the best UMPC out there? Budget is around $1800 to $3000.
