UMPC, it’s hot now in the market! There are lots of manufacturers in the competition of producing it. Perhaps, this is partly due to in early 2006, a website was launched with a misterious flash presentation that had puzzled the world for couple of weeks. Still remember? The Microsoft’s Origami Project!
If you’ve followed up with the UMPC blog/news site, you’d have found that there are quite a number of debates out there about if a device produced by some manufacturers are UMPC-compliant? Some of the devices by some manufacturers although thier size can fit into the UMPC category but its OS (e.g Windows Mobile 5) does NOT fullfill the real defination of UMPC by Microsoft.
Well, what is the real defination of UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC)? Just by its title, it shall be small and compact enough and it must fullfill the requirement i.e it’s able to run full Windows OS, i.e either Windows XP or Windows Vista. It means that any Windows applications can run on this small and compact personal computer. It’s a full computer with ultra compact size and you can do everything on it!
