At $599 for the Pepper Plus, you'd think it could seriously hurt the UMPC, but I'm not sure if Pepper had the marketing power to go up against the likes of Microsoft and Samsung.
"Microsoft deserves some credit for trying to shake up the status quo. It's sad, therefore, that the Ultra Mobile PC feels so wrong. It aims to bridge the size gulf between a palmtop and a laptop, but winds up inheriting the worst aspects of each. Like a palmtop, it feels claustrophobic, clumsy for text input and, with its exposed touch screen, vulnerable. Like a laptop, it's expensive, has short battery life and requires two hands to operate."
