Sometimes we’re like Simon from Americon Idol, sometimes we’re like that weird lady from I Wish I Was a Millionaire or whatever, and sometimes we’re like the people from American Inventor. Reader Steve noted, quite rightly, that we don’t like UMPCs. He’s proposing a U-HIP, an image of which we see here. We’re not going into details because it’s patent pending, but he says:

I have the feeling that Gizmodo has not been impressed so far by the UMPC’s coming out, check out this concept. My problem with the UMPC’s is the fact that it is just one more seperate OS to carry around and try to sync with whatever else we already have. The U-HIP addresses this by utilizing a single OS for everyone in the home and everywhere. I admit it’s vapourwear at the moment but is (canadian pat pend), I just need someone to manufacture it. The design of this should put it well below the $500 range and I don’t see $200-300 range unreachable.
What say you? Are UMPC or are U-HIP? Why is the UMPC sucking wind?
