I...I can not smell it.

edit: To be fair, I have a cold.

That's pretty impressive.

Not impressed. Weren't UMPCs originally supposed to be in the $500 range? Also doesn't look like this has much in the way of graphics support, which is sorta important if you want to play games.

As it is, you're about a thousand times better off getting a laptop.

No you can't, since this won't run it.

Graphics heavy games would kill the battery life if it could play games.

Clarification:

It's impressive that they crammed that crap into a little box. I have no use for one. I wouldn't buy one...and 'specially not for gaming. I hate small screens and tiny buttons. I think it looks gimmiky.

Agreed.

For the price of that I could buy a half decent laptop for modern games let alone FFXI. Not to mention it would last a lot longer between recharges.

ok:

if you want to game on the go, spend this money on a laptop.

If you want an organizational computer on the go, spend this money on a Nokia N770/800/810

If you want to look like a tool on the go, spend your money on this.

On a serious note, I've used UMPCs, they're really a PITA.
