The last time I checked, the iPhone is NOT an UMPC (ultra-mobile PC)/MID.

These are meant for those that don't want to carry a laptop (even ultraportables) with them, but wants more functionality than a mere PDA that probably runs something like Palm OS or Windows Mobile. These would sit between the PDA and an ultraportable laptop. You gain the small footprint of a PDA, but the equivalent functionality of a laptop. Hopefully, and I'm crossing my fingers on this, that this has improved battery life over the first generation of UMPCs and more functions.]]>Sep 21st 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/Sep 21st 2007 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/Sep 21st 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/Sep 21st 2007 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/Sep 21st 2007 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/
Here's a hint device-makers: No-one wants to break out the stylus every time they want to scroll, fill in a form or hit a button.

Try making finger-friendly interfaces.]]>Sep 21st 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/
Please don't dumb down all the interfaces so fat fingered Bob can play too.

What douchebaggery!]]>Sep 21st 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/lol... totally off topic but my boss walked by and took a glance at the screen and only read, "My girlfriend has a finger friendly interface, yet she likes when I break out the stylus now and then."

thank god she laughed about it]]>Sep 21st 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/Sep 21st 2007 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/21/asus-r3-umpc-gets-a-little-more-real/
You guys can't use your finger with Windows Mobile? What are you Barney pawed?

We're dealing with small screen for portability, when you make the buttons huge you limit what else can be shown on the screen. I'm all for user friendly interfaces, but there should be a common ground compromise where both (finger and stylus) can be used for what each do best.]]>Sep 21st 2007 2:49PM
