We’ve been predicting the UMPC uber-remote for since the beginning. If this years CEDIA is any clue, the all-controlling UMPC is quickly becoming a reality (CEDIA is the tradeshow of choice for the Home Theater industry).
HomeLogic has also taken a liking to the 7-inch touchscreen that runs Windows XP tablet edition. While the $1,000ish device has questionable appeal for other applications, it makes perfectly good sense for home control, says HomeLogic’s Joe Lautner. “I wish it had a docking station, though,” he says. Running HomeLogic’s OneHome software, the UMPC can do anything that HomeLogic’s own touchscreens can do—and more, of course, because it’s a full-blown PC.
I hadn’t actually given this much thought, but I’m surprised the Q1 and other UMPCs don’t have docks. Interesting. You can read more about the upcoming UMPC uber-remote over at Talk about Cedia.
