Over at ultramobilelife.com we've been thinking a lot about the current state of UMPCs and where they might be headed in the future. Looking at the TabletKiosk eo's, the Samsung Q1b's and the DualCor cPC's it looks like UMPCs are here to stay.
What we've got in mind, however, is a new breed of specialized UMPCs. We want to take the general concept of the UMPC and push it further. We want to give these little tablets a direction, rather than let them languish in the realms of general computing like their much larger laptop brethren.
So we've set out on a journey to shape the direction of UMPCs, to find a better fit for them into our daily lives. We've come up with a few ideas we think you might find enticing, wether you're a busy woman who wants to stay online and stay organized or an adventurous spirit who likes to travel and share photos & videos with your friends and family.
Over the next 3 weeks ultramobilelife.com will share with you our UMPC concepts and how we came up with them. Stick around!

Interesting idea, I know I would certainly like more facts about real world usage and such. I would love to see a model designed for artists to use as a digital sketchbook, something with 2GBs RAM maybe and a Wacom screen with decent resolution. Perhaps even a solid state drive.

Actually, you are not that far off. One point you may be missing is the fact that these UMPCs will probably be more like a cellphone and that these devices will have to be rugged or at least ruggedized.
Be watching for RuffPC Dot Com. coming soon to the www mid August 2007.

That sounded good but the problems thus far is all the UMPC's look the same and there are no pocket size devices that have a true touch type keyboard. The Samsung SPH P9200 is the exception but I can not buy one in the US :( I hope others copy that innovative design.
