If there’s one thing I hate, it’s sensationlist headlines. You won’t find any of those at Ultranauts.com. However, the folks at Cnet don’t seem to share our high journalistic standards and have unleashed a new article entitled Apple Newton vs. Samsung Q1 UMPC: A Steel-cage Deathmatch! (ok, I added that last part).

The article is both clever and funny and has been fully covered elsewhere on the Interweb. I’ll spare your keen intellect any further rehashing. While I wish I had thought of this idea myself, I must say that the joke could have been taken further. Much further. Why limit the fight to just the Newton? There are dozens of other portable computing contenders ready to come out of retirement to do battle with the might UMPC platform. Here are my top 3:

1. UMPC versus the HP Palmtop 200LX
2. UMPC versus the Compaq Portable
3. UMPC versus the TI SAS

Any others that should be added?
