I agree with you, what's the point of having all of that and still trying to call it a UMPC when it clearly isn't.
I now have a UMPC made by TabletKiosk. No way would I want to have a tiny little keyboard and all the extra do-dads this thing throws on there because they think this is what I "want" in a UMPC.

You interact with it primarily through touch/digital ink. You can add the option of a keyboard if you desire by one of the convertible ones or an added on bluetooth or USB keyboard.
