[the Beijinger Blog] Conventional notebooks with medium-sized screens are fine to work with, but carrying them around involves some planning. The practically palm-sized UMPCs (“ultra-mobile PCs”) are ultraportable, but reading on their tiny screens can be hard on the eyes after a while.

[Crave: The gadget blog] Would you rather have a super smartphone or a new Netbook? | Crave ...: While I could definitely go for a build found in the HTC Shift if it had the ability to do phone calls with top specs, due to the big screen, and the enlarged kind of smart phone set up, I think IDEALLY if you could get the top specs in a Palm Pre type one handed vertical qwerty keyboard device that would be awesome..exceptions being a bigger keyboard/keys (though the ones on the Palm Pre are nice enough I think), expandable memory slot, and a bigger screen/ala iPhone sized or close to it.

[Crave: The gadget blog] Six things we'd like to see in future Netbooks | Crave - CNET: There was a market for 11-12" ultraportables before netbooks came along, but it was really small, because the entry level models were pushing $2000, and the best ones were over $3K, which means they're really only status toys for executives. Now that you have a growing selection of 11-12" ultraportables under $1000 (sometimes well under), I think you'll see more people consider one of these as a primary computer -- or at least as their notebook adjunct to a desktop.

[O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies.] Apple, the Boomer Tablet and the Matrix - O'Reilly Radar: This leads me to believe that such a device will tilt closer to the iPhone platform than the Mac platform (stick to form/factor/function where gravity is your friend, right?). As to the open standards web swallowing everything proprietary up, all that I can say is that we've been talking about this one since 94-95, and while it's definitely getting closer to a reality, my gut says another five years of proprietary advantages, but obviously a total guess.

[Stephen Fry] The New Adventures of Mr Stephen Fry: I'm an open source advocate, but I believe that five years for heavy Linux proliferation on the desktop/laptop/UMPC is very optimistic. It's not Windows that is the reason or something wrong with Linux;

[Crave: The gadget blog] OQO gets a second chance | Crave - CNET: Last year's OQO ultramobile PC (or UMPC) was a great-looking, high-concept piece of equipment that was perhaps a little ahead of its time. Poor battery life and anemic performance kept the palm-sized PC from capitalizing on the system's initial buzz.

[Crave: The gadget blog] The Sony P-series Lifestyle PC: Just don't call it a Netbook | CES ...: I feel a trackpad either wastes far too much space (makes the footprint too large or forces the keyboard to be too small). If I need finer control than the pointing stick affords, I have a tiny usb trackball that slides onto an index finger which I've grown quite accustomed to and makes that point moot, IMO.

[CNET News.com] Sprint takes gloves off, aims for Apple's chin | Crave - CNET: For $100 (actually, you can get a discount if you buy it retail), you get that feature, plus online storage, email, calendar, contact, preferences, password, bookmarks, mail accounts, and all sorts of other syncing between your phone and multiple computers, Mac and PC. It also presents a web interface to access all of this everywhere in the world that has internet, as well as ad free website hosting, mail forwarding or mail collection from another account, remote computer access, remote NAS access, etc.
