The first UMPC concept I want to introduce goes by the name of The Executive. It's probably looks like the first thing you imagine when you think, "executive toy." It's small, it's sleek, it conveys a sense of affluence and if you carry it around you will certainly look important.
From far off, you may not even notice this tiny computer. In it's swank leather case it looks like an ordinary daily planner, but a careful examination of the front cover reveals buttons and a small LCD screen that function as a calculator, messaging center, and phone dial pad. Sitting in a meeting with the cover closed, The Executive will display incoming e-mails, stream stock quotes, and notify you of upcoming appointments without distracting your colleagues.
Unhooking the latch and opening up The Executive you'll be surprised to find a pen, space for business cards and credit cards, and even paper to scribble notes on. "Just a daily planner?" you ask. Hardly! Your business cards rest in the back of a fully functioning PC. Turning the page you'll find a large LCD screen with touchscreen abilities and a folding keyboard with backlit keys. Not only does this UMPC have a full sized keyboard, even folded up it maintains an array of functional keys for easy access.
We know most executives need to look good when using their PC, wether it's in a meeting, on a plane, visiting a brokerage, or at a country club. The Executive maintains a low profile while still exuding an understated elegance allowing you to keep your technological edge while engaging in the intricacies of modern business transactions.
Coming up next is a UMPC concept for the modern woman, we haven't forgotten about you!

Gotta admit that way of putting the keyboard is a little too difficult for it to resist strain. The kb would have a part of it "on the air" and everytime you type those keys, the UMPC would swivel, otherwise you should be very careful of typing that hard.
I suggest a keyboard that doesn't fold (ala Sony UX) or just let the stylus do its job and lack of qwerty keyboard entirely.

Wow, read my mind and added a few more ideas :eek
I like the keypad and small window idea.
I would skip including a keyboard and use a small wallet size foldable BT keyboard like those for phone. Just pop it out of the inside of your vest pocket and type that short e-mail. For anything lengthier, use a docking station and full size keybord monitor.....

The keyboard is essential. It would be nice if the screen would fold out to expand too.

I have a US design patent on this keyboard with chassis that I developed back in 1999 and received the patent in November of 2001- way ahead of the game. contact me if you like. Microsoft along with Otto is missing the boat. The design above was created bt CRE8 and they thought it was original this last June 2006. Get ready?

why not use the infrared laser led keyboard to project a keyboard onto what ever surface the "executive" rests upon.http://tinyurl.com/y9xw8e
