Ok, everyone has seen the sneak-peek of the alledgedly upcoming, but unannounced UMPC. Is it a leak? Is it viral marketing? Is it even real? I don’t know. If you haven’t seen it, go here now.

But I will tell you this. I must have it! Forget the Sony UX180P. Forget the Asus R2H. For me, this is the UMPC I must get. I don’t need to see the front. I don’t need to see the specs. I just need this device. And here’s why…

I’m a gadget guy. And I’m married. Those two things don’t mix. Ever. But my wife tolerates it as long as I keep all my stuff confined to my office in the house and as long as I make sure that all of my equipment is as color coordinated as possible (or kept in a drawer or closet). I kid you not! My printer has to be the same color as my monitor. And my monitor the same color as my computer. That’s why my iPod is black… so that when it’s docked, it matches everything else.

So all of my stuff is black, with silver accents. Just like that mystery picture of the new UMPC. In fact, that new device matches the color scheme and aesthetic of my Dell computer and Dell monitor perfectly and exactly. Black and silver accents and all! How is that for luck! So, there you have it. I need that new unnamed UMPC to match my Dell rig and keep my wife happy. Hmmmm.

[UPDATE: As had been speculated, the mystery UMPC is simply a Founder UMPC. And it still matches my set-up perfectly!]
