Duh. short = shirt!

Sometimes not even Firefox’s spellchecker can help me…

>>>PDA = slips into your pocket (ie doesn’t dominate it, like a UX or OQO would, if they fit at all)

The UX fit in my inside jacket pocket. But only a PDA will do a short pocket.

That is, *for now*.

The OQO is called a convertible tablet PC here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2084545,00.asp

Microsoft should just update their UMPC hardware specs: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/umpc/hardware.mspx

That would save everyone (readers and writers) a lot of time. I’m personally quite tired of running around with my red pen.

I don’t see what the big deal is about something being an “official” UMPC or not. No matter whether they get the name or not, all portable computers have their own combination of power, size and capabilities and it’s pretty easy to break the touchscreened devices apart:

PDA = slips into your pocket (ie doesn’t dominate it, like a UX or OQO would, if they fit at all)

Tablet = about the size of a notebook of standard paper

UMPC = somewhere in the middle

The OS and hardware will have alot to do with computing capabilities, but in this market weight, convenience and battery life are just as important as power and flexibility, so I couldn’t really say that a WM device is any better or worse than a Vista/XP one as a UMPC.

Wish they weren’t so slow writing their Vista software. To ship in 8 weeks time with XP installed seems really dump

Mine’s already on order. Can’t wait for them to start shipping. Woo!
