Dreaming of the Ultimate UMPC

- Warner Crocker

I’ve had the luxury of having my hands on a few UMPCs (not as many as some around TeamGBM) and you know what? I still haven’t found what for me is the ultimate UMPC. I love the Inking on the Asus R2H, can’t stand it on the Samsung Q1P or the Ultra. Love they keyboard on the OQO Model 02, not the one on the Q1 Ultra. I could go on and on. Some times I lay awake nights wondering if there ever will be the Ultimate UMPC for me. Drives my wife nuts.

Very funny! I half expected to see that OQO clipped to your boxers.

Brilliant!! And so true to life!! In my case, it's not my wife that gets to listen to my UMPC complaints, it's my long suffering dog.

Greetings:


Ok, seems that there are some very impressive videos about UMPC's of late.

Warner, have you installed the HID drivers in those Q1? The inking experience in a Q1 after installing the HID drivers is as good as any other that I have tested. Without the HID Drivers it´s the worse I have seen in all UMPCs.

Warner,

Some how you just keep on entertaining. Awesome, awesome video! I absolutely loved it!

And agree %100.

Kudos to your wife too. She did a fantastic job as well!

Great job!!!

Uhhh, that's just plain scary Warner. Besides the fact that there is a camera in the bedroom (we won't go there), there are UMPC's in the bed! Thomasin -- you are a saint!

Interesting choice of bed warming devices I must say. A little pricey, but hey -- whatever gets the job done I guess. :)

As Warner would say, "Waaaay too funny!

Beat that one Hugo! :)

HTC Shift, HTC Shift, HTC Shift.

7" screen, passive digitizer, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Vista with Aero. Perfection.

If only they'd release it to us...the nightmares will go away.

Awesome video! First of all, who knew...? Warner has genuine Hollywood talent! Second, Kudos to your wife for going along with this. If my wife were to find all my gadgets/UMPCs on the bed in the middle of the night, she would have a fit! :-)

Excellent show, Warner....can see the makings of a new sitcom or reality show here...

Watching your vid is the best thing that happened to me today.....



Well, other than finding out that Conics shipped out my new Kohjinsha SH6 today....
