Can you merge a fully loaded Windows XP PC with a Windows Mobile-powered smartphone without coming up with something so bulky, cumbersome and power-hungry that it doesn't work well as either? The folks at startup DualCor Technologies seem to think so, and they aim to prove it with their cPC, a $1,500 hybrid handheld that the company will show off next month at CES. According to reports, the cPC will be just 6.5 x 3.3 x 1.2 inches, and will sport a 5-inch LCD display. The PC side will run XP Tablet Edition, on a 1.5GHz Via C7-M processor, while the smartphone will run Windows Mobile 5.0. A 40GB hard drive will serve both the PC and the smartphone, and the two sides will apparently be able to share at least some data. "When you pull up an application you can decide whether to run it in x86 mode or on the smart phone," DualCor CEO Steven Hanley told CNet. The device will run for about three hours in XP mode and 8-12 hours as a smartphone, and is targeted at execs and salespeople who want to travel light.

微軟的 UMPC 跑的是 Windows XP Tablet Edition
Origami 不是 OS
只是一個 Project Name 而已

微軟對 UMPC 有一套自己的定義
就像微軟定義 SmartPhone 一樣
把一個很通用的名詞拿來用自己的定義重新解釋
我不是很欣賞這樣的作法，容易讓大眾混淆

VAIO UX 就是因為沒有用 Tablet Edition
所以很多人就說他不是 UMPC
事實上，VAIO UX 確實不是微軟定義的 UMPC
但是 Ultra-Mobile PC 這個名詞又不是微軟專用的
VAIO UX 的出現
是重新詮釋了 Ultra-Mobile PC 的意義
或者說是 SONY 對 Ultra-Mobile PC 的闡釋
而且丟到市場上
正是狠狠的巴了其他 UMPC 廠商一拳

原文中所說的 XP + WM5 的 UMPC
其實就是把 NB 跟 PPC 的硬體做在同一個盒子裡
其中 CPU 跟 RAM 各有一份
硬碟、螢幕、電力則可以共用
是很創新的想法
但成熟度、實用性、市場反應
還有待考驗

其實名詞只是名詞, 那個都是商業口號.
重點是怎麼用, 好不好用.
像現在只有 2小時實際使用時間的機器, 其實根本不足一日所需.
再怎麼也要 5 小時吧.
panasonic 又不肯把它的超耐命機改出 tablet 外型的機種, 要不然它有好幾型實在很適合.
