I'll tell you why I am interested in UMPCs
I currently have a Dell Axim 5 that I want to update, I also have a company provided laptop. I am in the car and air a lot, I want something that I can look at quickly to access contacts and other data. Also want something with a GPS that is portable. The laptop is just to big to use while driving and hard to manage in the car. The UMPC seems to fit the bill, the UMPC combines a lot of devices into one. Besides the GPS, I would like to see a nice car mount and a means of accessing XM Radio [ to replace the XM receiver in my car]. In other words, I want get a handle on all of these devices and wrap it into one package. I think this product will do that eventually.
