Intel wants us connected everywhere we go

Intel today announced what it calls the Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) platform. With this platform, Intel aims to bring small, thin, light and low-power devices that can keep you connected from anywhere. Intel is hoping that the UMPC platform will allow you to:

ACCESS content and information virtually anytime, anywhere

COMMUNICATE via email, IM, chat, or blogging

ENTERTAIN themselves with videos, games, music, pictures or TV on the go

BE PRODUCTIVE by monitoring office apps and tools

The devices will feature wireless connectivity, GPS support, full VoIP support and full PC compatibility. Intel states that more information will be available on the 9th – Microsoft states that it will release details of its Origami project on the 9th. Coincidence? I think not.
