And you can buy it NOW, not wait for microsoft to feed it to you.

Yes, we've all heard of it, and no one cares.]]>Mar 7th 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/
Back in April when Intel first started to tout the UMPC idea they where talking about a low price point something like ~$500. I doubt they come in under $800 though.

If prices are as good as rumored though to hell with upgrading to a 6700 from my Treo 650 I will be buying one of the UMPCs.

I hope some of the models look a little better than the one pictured on this post! The one posted looks like a SYMBOL product.]]>Mar 7th 2006 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/Mar 7th 2006 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/Mar 7th 2006 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/To me this looks like cross-breed between portable media center and a oversized pda - kind of like the last sony palm "thing" with the big screen. maybe thats why they say is not OQO replacement...
Maybe they will sell separate HDD and faceplates?:)]]>Mar 7th 2006 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/Mar 7th 2006 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/intel-umpc-details-begin-to-emerge-products-coming-on-9th/
Someone could then have the foresight to built a very small inexpensive subnotebook. Something I Always wanted, but most really small subnotes are hugely expensive.

Tablets? I honestly don't give a flying fig. A small fully functional notebook that is affordable; I am in line to get one.

Are you listening HW manufactures?

But this is more likely shaping up to be an $800 mini tablet. Yuck.

If this is Origami I am very excited!

And "...go pc" and not "gopc" is just a matter of Branding. Years ago, when I started GoPC, this is exactly the kind of product I had imagined, but just lacked the funding to generate it from scratch. My market niche ended up being mobile "set-top boxes" which was, at the time, the very smallest full-power PCs you could buy.

Fast Forward a few years and the market is exploding with these handtops, palmtops and other personal mobile PCs.

Sure, I'm excited. Maybe a little "obsessed" with this market niche. Please see beyond any personal bias I might be perceived as having... Even if I weren't emotionally involved, I really, truly think that whomever goes to market with this name stands a really good chance of Branding the niche. UMPC stands for Ultra Mobile Personal Computer... which they have felt fit to reduce to 4-letters. GoPC says all that, isn't an acronym, defines the market and is SUPER EASY to remember.

Maybe it's just me and I'm sure I've said it enough... My enthusiasm can get the better of me. :)
