The battery life needs to at least double and UMPCs really need an interactive interface to succeed.
I can see an UMPC with a talkingdesktop interface software and a headset.

This would allow me to leave my regular desktop behind and let me control a mobile computer with speech recognition and then listen to it talk back as I am walking around.

Maybe these UMPCs will really show the benefit of an interactive software product like www.talkingdesktop.com on a mobile computer platform.
