It is nice to see companies realizing that the more prefered input method is keyboards but people do not want a thumb keyboard. We want a touch type keyboard. The bulk of umpc's are way too large to be really mobile yet with all that real estate the design keyboard nobody can touch type on. They should look back and copy proven designs such as the old Psion 5mx it was only about 3.5" x 7.5" x .75" yet had an easy touch type keyboard. What we really need is a pocket size umpc with a touch type keyboard.
