Sad thing is, with pricing up near a grand, UMPC's will wither and die on the shelf for the most part. Sure the geeks might buy a few but for these things to be acceptable to the public in general, they need to be in the 500 dollar range and not a penny more. I know if I spending the kind of scratch they they want for these, I'm probably going to spend the extra few hundred and get a laptop. Too bad I was looking forwad to UMPC's as a handy tool to carry around, but not at almost $1000.
