This whole UMPC thing is really silly to me. So they made it smaller and sleeker... Wow... almost a PDA... I mean this platform really has no chance of existing. In 5 years, the PDA / smartphone / UMPC market will have already converged.

The average person can pick up a device like a Cingular 8525 / T-mobile MDA or whatever. With the exception of T-mobile, you have 3G internet. Yeah, the browsers suck, but the new opera is a huge improvement and these things are only going to get better. It also has a full keyboard. So I'm just not seeing the advantage of a UMPC. Ripoff prices, shitty battery life, and the guarantee of it being completely replaced the following year.

I'll stick with my smartphone / laptop combo please.
