UMPCs are that generation of mid sized devices. The Mini Tablet. They're
full featured machines in smaller form factors.
To be honest Tablet PCs are way too big for me. these things are cool for
remote access (esp if outfitted with wifi and wimax), multimedia, and all
the things that are too cumbersome or complerx to do on a PDA. I love the
idea, maybe not so much the implementation.
Apple is rumored to be working on one, which i think is cool. The Newton 2?
I guess the OQO is the standard.
The Gateway Tablet PC sold at BestBuy is very nice in size (small enough I
mean) - I like it a lot. Fujitsu notebooks are also very nice, probably the
smallest out there.
In 1-2 years the Tablet PCs will get a bit smaller to the point of the
Origami (this Ultra Mobile PC) and will still have keyboard rotating screen,
or Origami will add Tablet PC function to it - but my bet is on Tablet PCs
as they have faster processors than the Origami.
