More about ultra-mobile PCs
The UMPC or netbook or whatever you want to call it is receiving a lot of attention these days. Many commentators are enthusiastic although there is pretty general agreement that the keyboards are hard to use for touch typists. Today’s New York Times has a review that is less favorable than many:
Having used a number of ultra-minis for several weeks, I believe their utility remains elusive. While there is no question that their size makes them easier to carry than standard laptops, the smaller screens and reduced keyboards left me cold. I’d rather use a standard laptop on the road, and switch to a smartphone when I need to make a call, read my e-mail messages in a rush or check in for a flight when I am nowhere near a Starbucks hotspot.
