I'm excited about
the Ultra-Mobile PC, and it looks like others are, too. A whole slew of sites have sprung up to arm us with everything we need to embrace Ultra-Mobile PC ecstasy. Here are the ones I've learned about, so far:
GottaBeMobile.com is not so new, but has been vocal, and I expect them to continue to be.
A former
Sony Vaio U-70 owner,
James "jk" Kendrick should remain an excellent source of guidance.
TabletPC Buzz has a new
forum dedicated to the form factor.
Juicy tidbits about the UMPCs have been posted by moderators at
Tablet PC Talk Forums.
| expect one day we'll have a Microsoft
newsgroup and some Microsoft UMPC
MVPs (maybe jk would consider a lateral move!). Then again, since the UMPC runs Tablet PC Edition, I wonder if those of us seeking help will use the same resources. We'll just have to see.
Not that I consider myself a resource by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd like to note that I've already started saving for mine. I'd love to take it on my cruise in May, as I'd been thinking the Tablet will be a bit too large, heavy and obvious for shore excursions. I'm thinking ASUStek. I like owning different brands of computers, and I've never had an ASUS PC. The last PC I built has an ASUS board in it, and it was my main desktop until I bought a used Dell last year; now it's my Mandriva Linux "server."
Feel free to comment, if I missed a useful site (or for any other reason)!
