I’ve just placed my vote in the 2006 Engadget awards – ‘Handheld device of the year’ category. Of the 6 devices listed, 4 are what I would call UMPCs including my personal favorite the PepperPad 3. I’ve grown very attached to it over the last 6 months. However, I’ve put personal feelings aside and voted for the Q1P. Its the better all-round device for most people.
Shame the TabletKiosk i7210 is not there. That would get my vote as it was a real workhorse for me until the charging system died at Christmas. (Still waiting to see if I can get it repaired!)
Currently the VAIO UX is winning and I guess this is because its the best looking, smallest and best marketed! I really don’t like it due to the high screen pixel density.
Don’t forget to make your vote over at Engadget. It would be interesting to hear what you voted for any why, here in the comments.
