Thanks for the comment Reno, however constructive criticism is always more believable when you're not trying to sell your own services.

This is one customer you won't be getting, but thanks for the thought

The difference between a laptop and a UMPC-style-laptop is size. You can jigger up the price all the way to �2000-2900 (Lenovo ThinkPad X300) or �1200-2030 (Mac Air) and they still sell.

Why? They’re a different class of device.

Look at the differences between the modern mobile phone and a laptop. There are plenty of places you wouldn’t want to open up your laptop and write out a big email and there are times when text-messaging isn’t sufficient. Browsing on a phone is convenient but limited. Browsing on a laptop is full-featured but awkward. UMPCs bridge these gaps.

I think they’re a result of the realisation that phones just aren’t good enough for some things because they have an inherently limited physical-IO space.

I agree that the first Eee was very much targeted at the OLPC/XO market: kids. People don’t want to whack a large chunk of dosh out on a toy but the later iterations of the Eee is turning it into a far more useful device.
