“I’m at Cebit in Hanover and happened to walk past the Samsung booth today in Hall 1. The stand is still under construction but I got a chance to see what appeared to be Samsung’s new portable PC based on Microsoft’s Origami technology. “There were a couple of small terminals on display under the Microsoft, Intel and Samsung logos. After a few seconds they were covered up by a Samsung representative who came over when he saw me! “I didn’t get a chance to snap a picture–so you’ll have to take my word for it–but the device is roughly A5-sized.

That intel site is a terrific find JK- the first definate specs I've seen. Still so close to the Sony U in concept (I guess they got the marketing wrong), just with an integrated keyboard (essential and hopefully well done) and better connectivity. I wonder how long before these things are generally available.

http://umpc.com/faqs.aspx has this Q&A:

“QUESTION: Is the UMPC going to replace the laptop or PDA?

ANSWER: No. The UMPC is a mobile device designed to access online media and content on the go. It is not designed to process lots of work or write a college thesis. You have your laptop or desktop for these tasks. Instead, the UMPC is a great PC companion.

The UMPC is powerful enough to provide a great gaming, music or video experience. People will have to decide whether they want to replace their dedicated electronic device with the UMPC.”

I don’t see people using pens with these devices. Do any of the pictures show pen bays?
