Sharp UMPC on video
Here are two videos I found of the WILLCOM D4 made by Sharp and already being sold in Japan.

This UMPC comes loaded with a Atom Centrino 1.3 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. That’s what I would call the minimum requirement to run Vista and that’s the OS that Sharp has put in these devices.
I don’t know if Sharp is planning to sell it in USA or Europe but if you want to buy it you can do that at Direct from Japan, a specialized on line store in Japanese electronics.

Another nice looking device that I would have considered getting, if I could get it with XP. Vista, though, kills the deal.
Having a full desktop interface on devices this small just seem pointless and clunky to me. To me you need a more streamlined interface to make devices this small truly useful and not just something to showoff to friends.
That being said the device itself looks really good.
I have been using them for 2 years creating all kind of content including Visual Basic code and they are to me the best and more productive gadget I have ever owned. there is nothing like to have your Home PC with you at any time. Sure you can use a laptop but they are heavy and huge.
ctitanic… that’s a big “if” for a specialty device like that.
In response to Neil’s comment, I can testify that I have a Gigabyte U60, and love it! Great for internet surfing, reading, and watching videos anywhere you like, and a sufficiently usable keyboard that I can deal with emails and minor documents. All my accounting is easily done on it as well.
Don’t knock these devices until you’ve given them a chance, Neil. In my opinion, they eliminate the need for a laptop.
Fully agree with you in both points. I do not use my laptop anymore.
thanks
i think lap tops are not as good because they do not have as many gigs
