Microsoft's UMPC Usage Scenario Survey

- Rob Bushway

OrigamiProject.com has posted a request for folks to fill out a survey on UMPC usage and perceptions. As an incentive they are giving away some prizes, too. So, here is your opportunity to give some feedback to Microsoft and help impact future design.

Here are the details from OrigamiProject.com:

Dear UMPC Enthusiasts,

As part of our ongoing efforts to better serve the UMPC category, Microsoft is conducting a survey to gather additional data on UMPC usage and perceptions. If you own a UMPC, or are interested in UMPCs, we invite you to participate in this short survey:

Please feel free to share this survey link with your fellow enthusiasts and to re-post it on blogs or other UMPC forums. This survey will remain open till October 28, 2007, 11:59 p.m. PT. As an incentive, survey participants are eligible to enter sweepstakes for prizes.

Additionally, you can choose – at the end of the survey - to voluntarily opt-into joining Microsoft’s Mobile PC User Panel, which will provide you with additional opportunities for participating in future studies.

Thanks in advance for your participation,

Microsoft Origami Experience team.

Usage scenarios? I've been calling for those since Origami was rolled out (March 06 to be precise), and now a year and half later they're doing a survey to find some? Way to catch up with what should have been done two years ago, team.

Hmmm. Glad they're finally asking. But since I've been using my UMPC for 13 months already, it seems a bit odd.

Regardless, the sweepstakes rules indicated that entries needed to be submitted by June 30, 2007 :(

seems like there is a market for it and this is more of a demographic survey to see how and to whome to market the umpc's to better move them then a usage for future designs or applications of use. But hey I did it and support it as them more users and user friendly it becomes the more product moves and better blah blah blah... you all know the circle of getting what we want.
