When UMPCs and Handhelds meets?

Did you ever notice that the size of the personal computer is "nanoing"? After the desktop, they came out laptop. Now, they even try to shrink the laptop in terms of size and weight. Hence, Ulta Mobility Personal Computer (UMPC) is born.

While the PCs is shrinking in size, the handheld devices is powering up in performance. The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) or rather called as Palmtop and the smartphones are gaining their pace to catch up to the performance of their Techno Siblings - The Computers.

Below are the comparisons between the UMPC from Fujitsu and PDA from HTC.

This is the Fujitsu LifeBook U1010, one of the UMPC model out in market. The Specs are as below:
Processor Speed: 800MHz
RAM : 1024 MB
Hard Disk : 40GB
Weight : 0.58kg
Dimension : 171x133x26.5mm


This is the PDA from the HTC called HTC Touch Diamond. It's one of the best PDA in town. The Specs are listed as below:
Processor Speed: 528MHz
RAM : 192 MB
Hard Disk : 4GB
Weight : 0.11kg
Dimension : 102x51x11.3mm

Through the specs comparison above, we can see that the PC is "down sizing" and "keep fitting". Whereas the smartphones/PDA is actually growing to become "smarter" and "faster" then before. The differences is just one is meant for doing your "work chores" and the other is built to "watch over" your husband/wife.

I do believe that not far from today, these 2 devices will meet and come into a single similarity to do your "work" and "watch" over your husband/wife concurrently. I just wonder what they'll name it as its between the laptop and palmtop. Probably the "BUTTOCK" :P
