UMPC - Stands For Ultra Mobile PC

For the last 10 years we have had an ever increasing choice of portable electronic devices to help make communication and collaboration an easier task. Cell Phones now do more than just make calls, small hand held devices called PDA's enable you to stay connected with work whilst on the road. Need to check an email or maybe a spreadsheet? No problem. So now meet a new class of mobile device with the portability of a PDA but the functionality of a laptop. Meet the UMPC or Ultra Mobile PC as it is otherwise known.
