Prediction #4Happy Sunday! We return after a 2-day hiatus — we were on a top-secret road-trip that we’ll be sharing more about with you soon. Tonight, we continue our Top 10 UMPC Predictions series and we’ll waste no time jumping right into the fun…

Prediction #4: The “Internet Cohort” generation will make the UMPC a cool tool

Just as with cellphones, webcams, IM, T9 SMS and myspace accounts, the “Internet Cohort” generation (i.e. today’s youth who grew up in a connected, wireless world) will latch onto the UMPC and utilize it as the ultimate device to multi-task and stay in constant contact with their world and their friends.



With its relatively low-price, small form factor and an array of connectivity and input mechanisims, the Ultra Mobile PC could be that one device that effectively bridges the laptop/cellphone divide to become a teenager’s on-the-go nirvana.

And parent’s might just fall for the “it will help me with my homework” line. Besides, all the cool kids have one!
