I agree that UMPCs are underpowered and too large yet small. However, I find them VERY usefull despite their lack of features. Owning a UMPC, its a crucial databasing tool, portable web browsing unit (just get some mobile internet plan……Unwired=cheap but very bulky modem-bigger than the UMPC itself…..Many other providers make rather small USB modems)Office system (Typing up a small letter, document etc……..the onscreen keyboard is good enough…..) and entertainment device (movies….I agree….games suck unless you play some old stuff…but there are some good simple games out there)…..The low processing power doesn’t bother me (just as long as vista ain there) since I’ve taught myself to use old machines anyway………the’re quite responsive…….Having said that, I think UMPCs have a few more generations to go before they can go mainstream..
