UMPCs & Toshiba M400 at the DevConnections Conference
There were a number of UMPCs and Tablets here at the conference. Tablet Kiosk and ASUS. They also had the Fujitsu 1510D and the Motion Computing LS800.
I won't go into the details, you can get them from the links above.
These devices are a nice size, little on the heavy side though. They run pretty hot, which doesn't lend its self to good battery life.
Unfortunately they were only showing off the tablet pc user interface, there were no videos or applications to really get a feel for the power of the VIA processor.
With the various units side by side, I am really having a hard time understanding why I would buy a UMPC. I still like the portability aspect, but I need a bit more computing power if I am going to carry a UMPC as my primary device. If I need some basic note entry, I still have my WM5 phone.
But the Motion Computing LS800 and the Fujitsu 1510D are what I think I would look to for a ultra-mobile tablet, if they could add a touch screen in addition.
The IBM ThinkPad x41 and the upcoming IBM ThinkPadx61 a good compromise between portability and functionality for a laptop.
Anyway, I am still leaning toward the Toshiba M400 for my primary laptop.
