Its been a busy week at Ultranauts.com, but only about 75 folks participated in the latest poll. Perhaps the question was too toungue-n-cheek. The real point of the poll was to guage which device the UMPC is most likely to replace as it has the ability to be an all-in-one wonder machine. But, to be realistic, it probably won’t excel in each and every thing it can do it.
That said, the results aren’t too surprising. Most folks said that they wouldn’t be turning over the keys to any of their other devices for the new platform. If anyone was giving up anything, it was their existing multi-purpose computing device in the form of their laptop/tablet/pda for the UMPC.
One stand-out result: not a single person said they would sacrifice their ebook reader. It’s just more proof of the ebook reader’s dominance as a consumer device. Can any device defeat the ebook juggernaut?

Either that - or none of those that responded owned an e-book reader….
I continue to learn that sarcasm is a subjective, subtle thing.
I’m saving up; I’m keeping my babies! I do need to give away a bunch of old desktops, though.
