Thanks for actually leaving a helpful comment... how rare. +1 for you, good sir (or ma'am).

Source for that comment?

Awesome Mod! and great points on the potential a UMPC really could have. With the features he mentions I'd be in for one.

I wish they'd videotape that and post it. THAT would be funny.

"Ah to be young again..." - I think you still are.

"Anonymous Coward" sez it all. (well, maybe one could add "shoplifting douchebag")

Actually, I think a second screen (or third) with touch capabilities lying flatter on the desk next to the keyboard would be quite handy. Something similar to what a Wacom Cintiq would give could be great if it could use touch and stylus (but only at a much reduced price!).

How often do we socialize with strangers on public transportation anyway? I'm usually reading a book or magazine, so what's the difference if I'm reading a computer screen instead of paper? I'm in favor of more places for internetz... Now if some company was real bright, they'd make the whole tablet experience work while commuting--I never see anyone standing and using a laptop, and a lot of people (or just me) don't like reading the postage stamp size screen on cell phones.

and it's free!

How about an Engadget givaway for one of those!!

Maybe I'm just behind the times, but that little door on the lower side says "GPS". Interesting addition.
