That girl must be an amazon woman as the specs on the web site say,

“10.99″(W) x 0.93″(H) x 7.87″(D)”

7.87 inches in depth! that is way too wide as most pockets can only handle about 4″! Her hand must be huge if she can grab a computer almost 8″ wide to make it appear much narrower!

It would be fine to let it be longer around 7.5″ and stick out of a back pocket a bit but for it to be pocketable it must be no larger than 4″ in depth.

What is missing is a jacket size type of UMPC that has a full touch type keyboard, runs full Windows, and is more like the size of the Psion 5mx or HP Jornada 720 were, about 7″ x 4″ x 1″ or less. That would be ideal as it would be pocketable but not TOO small to be unfunctional. To many of the pocket size UMPC’s, and mids are useless to do any real computer work as they are too short to provide a real keyboard and instead just have a lame thumb keyboard.

this device is roughly the same dimensions as the original 7″ UMPC’s

which were NOT realistically pocketable
