The definition of a ultra mobile PC is a little blurred at the edges and from time to time I see questions like “Why isn’t device X in the product portal.” or “Why don’t you just go out and buy a PSP.” or “Do yourself a favor and forget it—get a smartphone.” (Thanks Gizmodo)
Valid points.
With that in mind though, I’ve written a summary of the ‘Almost UMPC’s.’ That is, devices bubbling under (or over) our definition of a UMPC.
Take a look here to see why the Flybook, HTC Universal and PSP don’t make it into the product portal and why the Nova5000 just got added! And as always, if you think I’m wrong, tell me why and I’ll happily shoot you down with a few big-headed emails. No sorry. I was getting all Gizmodo on you there for a moment. Keep the emails coming. It makes me think!

Steve,
Keep pushing your vision of the Carrypad.
I hope that it comes to fruition!
I feel like I almost have my perfect portable “palmtop” device in the OQO and have been enjoying it for over a year.
I like your insights hand have enjoyed visiting your site.
Thank you.
