Just read that Microsoft is considering to introduce another mobile computing device that is smaller than a laptop but larger than a handheld. At the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC), Bill Gates introduced Ultra Mobile 2007 which is just that. It will be less than 2 pounds and run Windows XP or even Windows Vista (which before was called Longhorn). Apparently, Microsoft hasn't seen much penetration of Tablet PCs as they had expected, it's primarily just being used for specific applications and targetted markets.
Some people are saying that this is the demise of the Tablet PC. But Microsoft feels that there will be specific mobile devices for different needs, and so they will provide the operating system for all those type of devices. This is great, I can see this, the slogan will read "Microsoft. Which mobile device do you want to crash today?" hehe.
