Knowing that UMPC deliveries are only weeks away, Hugo Ortega of the UberTablet blog couldn�t help but get a little creative this evening. With talk of Tablet MVP�s trying out UMPC devices his excitement levels were as high as ever. All he could think of was, �I just want to demo my own UMPC!�

Using the Microsoft UMPC display emulator, a tool designed for software developers to view their application's layout and screen behavior as it appears on a UMPC, Hugo does his best to create a Virtual UMPC device at home!

Here are some notes:

  • We know UMPC will run a 1.0GHz CPU of some sort and Windows XP Tablet Edition as its Operating System - Hugo Ortega grabbed a Sahara Slate running a 1.0GHz CPU and then proceeded to install Windows XP Tablet PC Edition on it.
  • We know the resolution on most UMPC devices will run 800*480 native on a 7� TFT; to replicate this Hugo installed Microsoft�s UMPC Display Emulator (download UMPC Display Emulator) to replicate a 7" UMPC device on a 12.1" Slate.
  • We know that the UMPC screen will be resistive touch, and not digitizer like current Tablet PC's, so Hugo makes sure that his experiment is conducted on a resistive touch slate PC.

Now that Hugo Ortega has mimicked almost all the UMPC criterion; all that is left is to let the demo speak for itself, �Via Virtual UMPC.�

The following is not a UMPC device � believe it or not � it is however an UberTablet.blogspot.com "Via Virtual UMPC" demo, dedicated to all of you that will not touch a UMPC for months to come!
