Comments on: Tablet PC2- Why UMPCs are worth the price http://gigaom.com/mobile/tablet_pc2_why_/ Fri, 25 May 2012 07:31:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: PJE http://gigaom.com/mobile/tablet_pc2_why_/#comment-46852 Wed, 16 Aug 2006 08:29:09 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/08/16/tablet_pc2_why_#comment-46852 Looking at the prices there are a few high numbers – $85 for the touchscreen in quantity! I could understand that for an active touchscreen, but the passive designs are much cheaper.

Looking at the pricing, the simplest way to get a $500 UMPC would be to kick Windows into touch and go with Ubuntu (or similar) – If they’d only have better touch support.

They seem too big to really carry around all the time (like I do with my XV6700) and too small to get real work done. So why should I drop $1000 on one?
