That’s all-day battery life right there and its two-years early! [...]

Do UMPCs really need hard drives at all, as you mentioned? <br/><br/> Does surfing the web, reading pdfs, and sending email really require the type of processing power currently being marketed towards consumers?<br/><br/>Perhaps digital ink technologies will one day soon be useable in these devices. <br/><br/>Personally, I think the computing industry is trying to sell consumers way more then they need.

I wonder if the industry won’t realize they need to take more drastic measures to improve battery life. Do UMPCs really need hard drives at all, as you mentioned?

Does surfing the web, reading pdfs, and sending email really require the type of processing power currently being marketed towards consumers?

Perhaps digital ink technologies will one day soon be useable in these devices.

Personally, I think the computing industry is trying to sell consumers way more then they need.
