UMPC made by HTC coming - hopefully with genuine mobile phone functionality November 15, 2006 [mobile PCs (Tablet PC, mini-PC, ...)] | By Edward J. R. With existing UMPC and mini PC computers even if they have cellular data capability (i.e. mobile Internet access over cellular networks), one cannot make phone calls with them. Hopefully the HTC-designed and manufactured UMPC will have ability to make phone calls over regular cellular network! First usable mobile phone powered by Windows Vista Tablet PC edition apparently will be made by HTC and it is great news that HTC wants to release it already (!!!) next year: Future hires include a 12-person engineering team to drive some of the highest-level industrial design work for the company. The team is expected to push the boundaries for creating devices for new networks capable of high broadband speeds. Products could include devices that mimic miniature, long-battery-life laptops that can make phone calls. The market for them doesn't exist today, but they are tentatively labeled ultramobile PCs and could be sold as early as next year, Achilles said.
