Story: Dialogue Box 9: Putting the 'Um...' in UMPC

UMPC Usage

I thought I would post a quick reply to your video. I have been using a Samsung Q1 for over a year now as a companion device and I find it very useful. I am currently on a trip to Hawaii and here is how I have used my device. My daughter watched three movies on the flight over because my extended battery lasts over 8 hours. My itinerary is in Onenote including maps and screen clippings. I mounted the Q1 in the rental car paired it via bluetooth to my GPS to navigate to our condo. Every morning I use it to terminal into my office computer to check email and manage projects. I have taken it down to the pool and caught up on a few blogs, listened to a few audio books, and read an ebook. If I really need to type a long document or email, I pop open my bluetooth keyboard and bang it out. If you call all of that useless, I do not know what to say. I agree that the UMPC is not for everyone, just like a $3,000 Alienware laptop that weighs 10 pounds is not right for everyone. Finally, I wrote this entire response in a recliner by the beach just using the handwriting recognition in under five minutes.
