Microsoft Not Giving Up On UMPCs | |
|
||
| Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: Daily Tech | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft isn't backing down from its UMPC efforts despite a disappointing reception from many within the tech industry. UMPC devices have gotten off to a rather slow start with only Samsung's Q1 seeing any widespread availability in the US market thanks to Best Buy. Even though US consumers can easily snap up a Q1 if they wish, the $1,100 price tag is pushing away many potential buyers. That high price of entry has been the #1 complaint from many reviewers and analysts in the industry and is a far cry from the original $600 base target that Microsoft boasted during the platform's launch. Even Asustek's recently announced R2 just barely comes under the $1,000 mark in base form. | ||
