What if you saw an OQO, Everon, Wibrain next to a HP mini for the same price?? Wouldn’t you think millions would go for the smaller UMPC pocketable, same functionality verse the bigger HP Mini? If not just for WOW factor, for functionality and portability. Now what if you saw a OQO next to a I-phone in a store (best buy)for the same price?? I think I would for for the OQO. Now what if UMPC’s had blue tooth headsets for phone calls/Skype? I think that would a good battle between UMPC/headsets verse smart phones. See i’ve NEVER seen a UMPC displayed in a retail store? Why NOT??!?!? it’s the UMPC companies that need to step up their marketing divisions/techniques. Have we ever even discussed UMPC’s with headsets??? Yo, you don’t need to hold a brick computer to your head, if you have a headset brothers and sisters. (remember the funny video JKK holding an XP cellphone to his head and laughing??? Who forgot about the bluetooth headset? EVERYONE. Someone please stick a UMPC in a retail store ASAP. No excuses. IMO, UMPC’s are poorly marketed poorly priced.

I didn't include it in the poll because I felt that the other devices were still 'upcoming'. Also at the time that I made the poll, we hadn't heard anything about the S7 in a long time and it wasn't really on the radar. Votes for it started coming in after a later announcement that it was coming soon. I'll try to be a bit new inclusive next time. You are right, the X70 was right on the cusp of being released.

This is probably available in korea, has been reviewed all over the shop, been pre-order released at Dyna, but certainly isn't in the hands of all us "normal" people yet.
