Further information available on UMPCportal
What started as a little blog in Feb ’06 has, mainly through the good feedback of readers, matured very quickly into a rich portal that we hope is helping users learn and make decisions about UMPC’s of all types. From the little Nokia 770 to the sexy Flybook V5.
The site is split into a number of areas now so here’s a rundown of the content we’ve got that might help you on your ultra mobile PC journey.
This is where you’ll find all the latest news, detailed reports, reviews and research as they are published. You’ll also see occasional posts from ‘Chippy Blog’ which contains the more personal thoughts of the author.
If you’re looking for more details on specific ultra mobile PC products, we have a set of product pages that contain as many specs as we can find (and more that we’ve found out through reviews) on all the UMPC’s we have in the database. In the product pages we also have a detailed comparison engine that will allow you to line-up a shortlist of UMPCs for finer comparison.
River of Links
We also include a constantly updating hand-reviewed list of links (River of Links) to important news and reviews for each product. If you want to track important info about product reviews and sites this is a good way to keep updated.
When we review a product we take a lot of pictures that don’t make it into the review itself. You can view all our ultra mobile PC photography here in the Gallery.
An active forum is available to ask questions and exchange info about all aspects of the UMPC
All ultra mobile PC reviews are listed on this page.

I am looking for a UMPC with a dial up modem or PCMCIA slot. Can you help me? Thanks.
Mistake on page 4: “The recommendation today is that XP is generally better than XP on currently available hardware due to the maturity of the driver software.”
Great article.
