All of these that I've messed with fall short with Windows' Start menu-based GUI and the thumb boards. And, if I'm going to pay $1000 for the thing, could I get a decent camera in the thing?

I can understand the desire for the slide-out keyboard, but I'll take a smaller form factor vs more accurate typing.  Then again, if I do a lot of SSHing or posting comments on Engadget from it, maybe I'll change my tune. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ooglek]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 28th 2007 12:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Compal expects big things from MIDs in 2008 -- dedicates team]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/compal-expects-big-things-from-mids-in-2008-dedicates-team/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/28/compal-expects-big-things-from-mids-in-2008-dedicates-team/</guid><description><![CDATA[That would be the Nokia N800.

If a UMPC is going to run full windows it should be obvious that users would want a touch type keyboard not a pen input nor a thumb input.  What we need is a device that is either an updated version of say a Psion 5mx or HP Jornada 728 OR a radical out of the box device like the Samsung sph p9200 (only sold in Korea) that runs full windows.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 27th 2007 4:18PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
