Toshiba’s prototype UMPC probably won’t go into production

Toshiba UMPC

Toshiba is very good at dominating the laptop market, and it looks like they have tried to make a new kind of ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC). 

This particular UMPC features an Atom processor with 64GB of SSD storage.  It has Windows Vista, as well as a GPS.  Not only does it have a lovely silver frame, but a 5.6-inch touchscreen. 

As you can see from the picture, the touchscreen allows for an intriguing keyboard for a double-handed interface.  I’ve never really seen anything like it before, but I’m certain that I am wrong. 

I mean if it were that innovative, wouldn’t Toshiba put this UMPC prototype into production. Can you believe that Toshiba isn’t going to put this out?  I believe the reason for this is that they say it is too small. 

Maybe they will change my mind after this entry to Gadgetell.  That’s right, Toshiba, the people have spoken, or, at least, they will speak.
