Microsoft and Intel and three PC makers finally took the wraps off the "Origami Project" Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) ? a new category of PCs that are sized between a handheld and a laptop

Is this what we'll be using in our RV travels in the near future?
 
The reviews so far have been mostly "So what's the big deal?" Seems like most people were expecting a lot more; at least something with an all-day (8-hour?) battery life. MS itself has said that this version will probably appeal only to those who have to have the newest toys. I'm paraphrasing, of course. Touch screens and 2-thumbs text entry don't do it for me. 
 
Looks to me like another solution in search of a problem.
