If you think that you won’t be needing a netbook although there is a need for something more powerful than your fast dying PDA, then might we suggest an in-between device – the Shenzhen e-Loam F7 UMPC. This Windows XP-powered device will come with the following to send your PDA into retirement :-
- VIA C7 1.2GHz processor
- 1GB RAM
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Bluetooth support
- 0.3 megapixel camera
- Optical mouse
- 7″ resistive stylus-based touchscreen display
- 8GB internal storage
Hmm, the lack of a keyboard could seriously hamper those who want to type out long documents on a road trip or reply emails as fast as possible. Maybe UMPCs ought to just go extinct, as they tend to fit in no-man’s land, at least for most of us.
