bring back the HP TC1100 line! that was the perfect portable tablet pc. hehe. not as small but perfect for using on the go.
but i would have to say that battery life and also concentrate on doing a few things well vs everything. we do not plan to replace our laptops/desktops w/a UMPC but rather want it to use when we are on the go and just need to get to the web, music/multimedia, email and doc reviewing. perhaps some basic drawing programs too (if it is touchscreen based/pen inputs).
and of course, bring the price down!!! why should i pay that much money for a scaled down machine thats not even a laptop? i'd rather drop an extra $500 and get a nice Vaio ultraportable w/built in wwan than any of the current umpc.
get the devices under the $1,000 price point and people might consider one but then again we'd prob just end up spending the money saved on extra batteries.. lol..
honestly, i see the UMPC failing in the next few years if these issues aren't addressed. speaking of such, how many umpcs have been sold to date?
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
