Dell may be moving away from PDA's but the UMPC has nothing to do with the PDA.

Actually I'm pretty sure that Dell would sell Apples and Oranges if it could set up a supply chain and assure a decent profit margin.

And didn't they used to Sell Palms anyway?

(and congrats on 1000 posts, and the 'New' title )

Interesting... does this mean that Dell is going to abandon their own "evolution" UMPC, or will this just allow them to transition from Dell-branded PDA's to Dell-branded UMPC's?

Discussion was about whether they might move to either UMPC or smartphones. I agree with psionandy!

They are completely different devices. Hence the Apples & Oranges.
A notebook is portable, but cannot be compared to a PPC.
The same goes for the UMPC and the PPC.

And I also agree with psionandy!
