True. And in the meantime, something like the Palm Treo 755p looks pretty tempting at $279... http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo755p/ Compared to dropping $1500+ on a UMPC, a sub-$300 device that suitable for notes, calendars and phone lookups makes a lot of sense. Wish it had Wi-Fi, though... UMPC's run Visual Foxpro applications-- Palm/PocketPC's don't. We offer UMPC's as an option for table-side ordering for our restaurant POS app, and it works far, far, far better than our PocketPC offering(which uses Terminal Services with a screen hack I wrote to maximize screen usage). The UMPC is a full PC and works very well running VFP apps with very good performance. There are definitely mobile needs beyond that of simple PIM devices, just not mainstream yet. I believe for general consumer/business use, UMPC's won't catch on. Pocket PC's aren't stable enough(worst OS stability I've experienced in modern days). I haven't used a Palm-based device in years, so hopefully they've gotten a lot better since... Cell phone OS's are crap-- Microsoft's SmartPhone is OK, but still has some stability issues similar to PocketPC's, and it isn't a full PocketPC OS, so it can't run all the applications a real PocketPC runs... While has it right on screen size-- there needs to be alternatives. Holographs are a ways off, and I'm guessing people won't want to wear eyepieces too much(maybe something flip down over one eye, but not overall goggles or anything). I honestly think the up and coming technology is roll-up screens. A device that will, when rolled up, be the size of a cell phone, but you can pull it apart, unrolling a screen that could be much larger. Technology for this exists today in RD labs, and I hope to see it in consumer devices within a few years. -- Derek ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

A while ago, I dug up a presentation from the Boston Computer Society on Pen Computing - pre-Newton days - and it said the same things [1]. Dead on arrival. BillG is just hawking whatever they are selling this month. The only prediction he ever got right was a computer on every desktop. Phones should become ubiquitous and tiny - iPod sized. A bluetooth earbud and a body you stash somewhere. A PIM application can rock on a Palm sized device: calendar, notes, phone number lookup. If you want to do more, you want 10x7 or better, Flash, YouTube and office applications. Trying to beat the capabilities of a laptop is a fools venture. Would you use one to develop applications? That's a key question. It's the sure sign of a dud that everyone thinks that _someone_else_ would want to use one of them, but not them.

Re: [NF] UMPC future prediction....what do you think?

In 1984 (yes, honestly), I wrote an editorial for our local PC user group (this was hot on the heels of that new-fangled PC-AT that we all hacked by putting 14 or 16 MHz crystals in). Three issues for mobile computing: #1 Input: How do you get data into it. Right now, that means a QWERTY keyboard. I posited that eventually you'll be able to speak into it, doing away with the manual input. We're still a ways-away, but this is closer than #2 #2 Output: This is what the article talked about - screen size. What if you weren't limited to a physical screen? What if you had actual holograms that you could see, but could also keep private (but also make public if you wanted)? Or maybe what if you had a gadget that you wore like a pair of eyeglasses, sort of like the heads-up displays that pilots (and some cars) now sport? Suddenly the form factor becomes irrelevant. #3 Bandwidth/storage: If you're instantly connected to the world, you don't have to carry your hard disk along with you. And you probably wouldn't want to carry the Entire Internet around with you. Watching a friend of mine zoom in on the roof of his house via googlemaps on his blackberry a week ago, well, this one is pretty much taken care of. Someone is going to make a breakthrough in the screen size and suddenly the size of the device you're carrying around will be constrained simply by how you're going to type into it. And you never know when that breakthrough will happen.
