I’m down in the lobby early to guarantee a ride to the airport, and scanning through USAToday. This is a UMPC (UltraMobile PC) by OQO. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket and it runs Windows Vista. Just like the PERFECT computer bag, I am constantly on the lookout for the perfectly sized computer.
Also in USAToday, for the first time in years there are fewer foreign students in US colleges than last year — and the year before and the year before that. Is this good news or bad news?
David,
No, no. The Sony Vaio UX-280s is ever so much nicer! I am steeling myself against buying the previous model, the 180s, which is on clearance at my local Staples for $999….however, I may soon be carrying it! Although not technically an UMPC since it is not running the Tablet OS, it does have a passive matrix(beauteous!) touchscreen and a slide-out keyboard.

Correction…it is the Sony Vaio UX180P and UX280P.
You forced me over the edge. I held off for a week but just drove to Staples in the icy rain and picked it up.

You are NEVER beating me at a new gadget acquistion again, Dave!
Kathy
That would be acquisition!
I’m actually going backwards. I am so disgusted with Windows Mobile that I am thinking about getting a Treo 650 on eBay, and going back to Palm. So much more capable.
