December 04, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]
Updated: see the end of this news story!

Dell is breaking with old tradition of not making Tablet PC notebooks! Now everything is possible: also smartphones from Dell!

Dell Latitude XT is not on sale yet but it will be one of the smallest Tablet PC notebooks, and apart from digitizer support it will support also genuine multi-touch display (unlike fake multi-touch that Lenovo offers although in fact it is just "single-touch combined with active digitizer").

Photo review of Fujitsu UMPC
May 18, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]
Here we present photos, including real-life photos, of ultra mobile PC (UMPC) that is coming soon to the market and that can revolutionize mobility - due to low price (roughly 50-60% of some other UMPC computers = less than 700 British pounds or less than 1000 Euro or just around 1200 USD)!

Some people start having doubts whether it makes snese to buy very expensive smartphones if UMPC computers are becoming so affordable...

Microsoft Research news : Shift - Pen/Stylus based device navigation and finger navigation
May 16, 2007; [Ultra-Mobile PCs]
Unfortunately this technology has not been released yet for Windows Mobile phones with touch screen but a demo for Windows XP is available so if you have some UMPC with touch screen, you can give it a try! With Shift one can easily select even small elements of the display, what can make usage of the touch screen much more precise:



Anyway: there is long way from Microsoft Research to Microsoft products, so this technology may never end up in Windows Mobile, but it is good to see that Microsoft, albeit slowly, is working on improvements of mobile device usage...
