Hugo Ortega and UMPC Basics: video

Warning: behemoth download

Important as it is to talk to the bleeding edge community � all twelve of you � today�s video is designed to slow down the current exposure we all have to Ultra Mobile PC. At the moment I�m not particularly content with �moving on� to phase two, or three, just yet; so in keeping with this theme I've prepared a 16:9 extravaganza dubbed, UMPC: An out-of-the-box experience.

By �out of the box� I mean software. The video is dedicated to the software experience obtained by the standard features shipped inside a UMPC. I felt this video was important given that only a couple of thousand people worldwide are currently UMPC owners, which means most of you have not even seen or touched these devices. To best translate the UMPC experience I have run the screencasts on an Ultra Mobile PC, uploaded the images using a 16:9 ratio and stayed true to the native resolution of 800x480. Hopefully this is about as close as you'll get to a real device.

If you�re bleeding edge I�m afraid you�ll need to grab some elastoplast (band aids) and lick your wounds for a while. If you�re Mr. and Mrs. Corporation and still don�t know if the hype actually translates to a true productivity increase then sit back [21 minutes] and watch Hugo Ortega (Microsoft MVP) in this edition of UMPC: An Out of the box Experience!

Disclaimer: While I try and remain multicultural in my presentations sometimes thing just don't come out right [my American friends will think that using a rubber on a Journal page is a little "interesting," but that's what we call erasers Downunder.]
