My POINT was merely to let others know what I found out about the Illium products that most of us have gotten used to on the HP pda is now going to also be available for the UMPC's. I thought that was nice. I use eWallet almost daily and ListPro the same...annd, and.

Now ya got it?

You're absolutely right but in my small way I worried 'bout the smaller screen etc?

I recall the problems with qvga/vga/etal.

You see any display problems or for that matter any problems with the touch screen IO?

Exactly, There are many real nice UMPC's being announced but other than the OS is usually MS Tablet with the Pack, except in the few cases like my Linux based PepperPad3 when Amazon delivers. Not much has been said about how the changes in format affects the software or will it be just a drop-in?

'Spose I could've said it better.

Hi!

Thanks for mentioning this news item. We do have PC versions of our products and they will run on a UMPC right now, but we're working with Microsoft to create versions that are optimized for the UMPC. I've got the Q1 here and while standard Windows Apps work great on it, the apps that take into account that you've got a tiny screen and are navigating with your fingers half the time work a LOT better.

Anyhow, that's what we're working on so that as users of other devices start picking up UMPCs they can keep using our software easily in that format.
