Yeah, x86 still hasn't scaled down far enough to make UMPCs practical.
Netbooks are getting there, but right now ARM / Linux has the best hardware / software for pocketable devices. Microsoft will be waiting on Intel for the ability to make pocket-sized PCs.
It's a class of computer platform Microsoft released back in 2006 known as UMPCs - Ultra Mobile PCs. These devices were suppose to be under $500.00 by Microsoft's specs, but OEMs kept the prices high at around a grand or more.. which in part helped kill the platform to the point that Microsoft is practically dumping UMPs all together - though Netbooks are kinda taking their place - but not as cool as UMPCs imo.
so this is where all these ideas come from , like they need to make a 3.0 version for Windows 8

I really don't have a comment, but i do have a pet peeve.
It's "biased" with an -ed at the end. Without the -ed, it's like saying "you are run" instead of "you are running"
