The 7 inch screen of the UMPC combined with full Windows XP Tablet capability makes it a device that can provide a wide range of functionality. These are full PCs so any work you do on your computer can be done on the UMPC (except for work that requires a large screen). The UMPC is also a great MP3 player, video player, and a GPS navigation system and this hasn’t been overlooked by dedicated car PC modders. A quick check of mp3car.com, a car modders dream site, finds a full discussion of the ease in which UMPCs can be installed in cars. It’s a sometimes humorous discussion with modders lamenting all the work they spent putting a capable computer system in their car when all they need now is to install the UMPC. I predict there will be a lot of different uses that will surface that the UMPC can provide right out of the box.
