It doesn't look like there's been much news though. A RISC-based Linux Pad seems to be about it. Personally, I've been mulling over the Vista-on-UMPC question. Its just not worth it at the moment and I wish the manufacturers would concentrate on XP and the OS for the next 18 months. If they don't, the prices of UMPCs will continue to rise. I'm totally in agreement with Thoughtfix

One other thing before I drug-up again, 1024x600 on the Kohjinsha - which I'm using now because the Pepper Pad doesn't have any offline blogging tools - is very very good. The Geode appears to be much better than the Intel devices at running non-native resolutions. I'm now convinced that a 1024x600 native res on a 7" screen is the way to go.

What’s the best UMPC for someone that’s ill?
