UMPC

Photo Uploaded by David Warlick
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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
