That’s the question asked in the most recent poll at Carrypad.
As you can see from the above picture Tabletkiosk was leading the competition at the moment when I was writing these lines. Unfortunately I think that Steve forgot to mention the entity that has promoted UMPC more that all companies mentioned in that poll all together: the blogosphere!
Am I wrong?
When the specialized press was telling that these devices were the next big Microsoft’s Fiasco, Bloggers were the only ones posting about the good things that these devices could bring to anyone willing to test them.
If this baby’s still alive, it is thanks to us!

We ran this poll a few months ago on Ultranauts. Bloggers won the poll hands down. TabletKiosk was a distant second, but well ahead of even Microsoft and Intel on the list. What I don’t get is the amazing amount of resources these companies are investing in the UMPC, but won’t dedicate a single team (much less a person!) to the proper marketing of the platform. Hey, MS and Intel, I’m happy to offer you plenty of advice! And so are our readers… are you willing to listen?
