The triple-swivel design is a great idea, this looks better (thinner) than most UMPCs we've seen so far.

But of course that doesn't mean it'll have better battery life, or be less expensive than all the others, and it's got Windoze...nope, still not going to catch on.

...and the manufacturers are not sitting on their hands. Typically, peculiar designs do not survive the fickle fate that the public has in store for them.

I predict the big successes will be 770-like devices, with better features, clearer screens and faster performance. Other than that there isn't much to improve on.
