I was reading about the happenings at IDF (Intel Developers Conference) and saw the following.  Too bad more skeptics aren't willing to try the new models. 

I admit that I wasn't all that excited about Origami when I first saw it.  It's not my type of device, but then, I don't get too excited about the new gadgety phones, either.  It's no secret that I'm a huge Tablet PC fan and can't see where these newer devices will ever really replace a good Tablet.

As the UMPCs have become more popular (and believe me, they're doing very well!), it's become obvious even to me that there's a good market out there.  It's exciting to see the changes that are happening - almost on a daily basis.

The article I saw on TG Daily by Rob Enderle reinforces my feelings and states things better than I can:

My new car and my new UMPC

I know a lot of you have written off the UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC, called Origami by Microsoft) but Intel brought out a second generation prototype that was actually very cool. It wasn't how it looked, which was kind of clunky, but how it worked and that was impressive. Apple probably wasn't too excited about this part because, if successful, it would obsolete the Ipod.
