Roger Butterworth is the CEO of Expansys, a company that turned over 54 million pounds doing business with smartphones and handheld devices last year. It looks to me like they are taking serious note of the ultra mobile PC sector. This is taken from their annual report:
We look forward with considerable anticipation to the release of the Nokia N90, the HTC Shift and the Apple i-Phone (in the UK) which should all generate considerable consumer interest. [my emphasis.]
And now the CEO is hooked on UMPCs. Check out the latest entry on the Expansys insider blog. Roger Butterworth appears to get umpcs.
I’ve been using an OQO model e2 for a month now as my main PC, it has performed brilliantly over that time and I just gave my old laptop away, I’m hooked…
I’ll keep an eye out for him at the HTC product launch on Monday and if I see him i’ll see if I can get an interview.
