Rumor: Apple Working On a UMPC/PDASubmitted by lalit on September 26, 2007 - 5:32pm.
Many websites have posted today that Apple has been working on a new PDA like device that will be released in first half of 2008. According to the description given by websites like AppleInsider, the new device will be like the iPhone with bigger screen (about 5” to 6” screen) and sport 720 X 480 resolution. The device will have new multi-touch functionalities like drag-and-drop, copy-and –paste and more, which are not present in iPhone. The device is Apple’s answer to the Ultra mobile PC (UMPC). Now what I don’t understand is why will Apple go after a dying market of PDA's or waste their time designing a UMPC (already proving to be flop). I think Apple should design a 10” multi-touch based fully functional computer that can be used as an Ultra portable laptop rather then wasting their time on a 5” to 7” screen UMPC. The problem with UMPC is you cannot keep them in your pocket and if you have to carry a bag then why not have an Ultra-portable laptop. FeedBurner |
