If there is one aspect of the UMPC roll-out that has been an unqualified success, it’s the name/acronym: UMPC. Everything under the sun is now apparently a UMPC, including Sony’s new devices and Apple’s rumored devices.

Now even relatively ancient devices like the OQO Model 01 are now apparently UMPCs too. But with a twist: it’s a UMPC-Pro.

OQO is committed to setting and maintaining the standards in the UMPC-Pro marketplace and is again demonstrating our leadership position.

That’s a nice bit of marketing (though I doubt it has much of an impact). Who wants a plain old UMPC when for a couple of bucks more you can get the UMPC-Pro? Well, I guess I do. I want both!
