1. Comment - UMPC: Why Microsoft Thinks You Need It

   (Mar 18, 2006 - 8:56 PM)

   Ok.. screw the content bundles! Go with the high end battery life! and sure less than $400 is great but not nescesary! $599+ is awesome idea. I'm saving already! I know what I want from my umpc, and anyone who doesnt see the umpc as what I want, is stupid and doesnt know what a ultramobile computer can do for them! That and they are stuck with "Oh IPODS are cool!"
   Here's what I want from my UMPC... and I'm aparently the "target audience"(thanks Terri Stratton)... Short list ;-)
   
   First I see my Mp3 player... and my personal video player... my nifty wifi
   web browser... my remote controll for any computer on my wireless network
   that'll do what I want (preferably running linux)... with skype, my free
   wifi phone (ahhh.. so cool)... my personal navigator (if it's got gps, if
   not hook a gps up to it).... my mini sketchbook (with alias sketchbook pro,
   my tablet would be my big sketchbook)... my personal day-minder... my xp psp
   (haha... not that I play much games, but i'm sure some would be neat to play
   on the umpc)... my shopping assistant... my mobile picture frame... my
   bartending guide... Need I go on??? :-D
   
   YEah! for those nay sayers of umpc's... why hate new technology, smaller computers, change in general, when you can embrace it! Pay your dues, and get something neat!
   Of course it's not going to be the best computer on the market... it's not going to play awesome games that only a desktop can play! It's not going to be everything for everyone. But it is what I want, and many others too!
