JKK, someone I worked together with to produce the UMPC-X design, has just finished a design for a slate UMPC.
That’s a nice looking 7″ screen design and it reminds me of the US701 [Gallery] which a lot of people had positive thoughts for. If you’ve got thoughts about this one, JKK is asking for feedback on his blog. My immediate thought is about weight. A slate, in my opinion, needs to be well under 1KG (2 lbs) because its often used with one hand. Would JKK have the same problem as HTC have with the Shift and have to put a small battery on it?
