Rob of Paperless Undergrad (paperlessundergrad.co.uk) has a very interesting post on the UMPC. Obvious enough he likes the Tablets a lot (look at this domain name again). Rob goes with describing what aspects of the UMPC he likes and does not.
Well I battened down the hatches while the Internet literally rained UMPC (codename Origami) talk these past few months and I chose to keep quiet on the subject. However with the recent spate of first class video reviews hitting our ‘screens’ (such as Kevin Tofel’s excellent ongoing review of the Q1 and James Kendrick’s and Akihabaranews’ review of the Sony UX50) I’ve had the opportunity, albeit in a virtual sense, to see what these beasties have to offer. So if it is at all possible to pass an opinion based solely on third party interaction (probably not) and if the view of a lowly student end user, although one that feverously strives towards paperless living, is of interest to anyone then follow the jump to hear my take on this whole UMPC scene [...]
It’s worth, go ahead Read on
Joe - Thanks for mentioning my humble post on this illustrious portal. My only fear now is that hordes of UMPC fans are going to visit me en masse with flaming torches and pitchforks.
Anyway thanks again and continued success to all at onlyumpc.com
Regards
Rob
P.S. Yeah I picked up somewhere else, before composing my entry, that the UX50 wasn’t technically classed as a UMPC but I’ve just conveniently overlooked that fact as 1) I couldn’t work out why it wasn’t classed as a UMPC and 2) I couldn’t base my entire blog post solely on Kevin’s review of the Samsung Q1
