    10" is the smallest they've gone in all the years I've been importing their notebooks....... and the pocket pcs have gone up to 3.7" on their pocket pcs.... so, yeah there's room for something inbetween...... but we're unlikely to see it for a while I think.... the US market really isn't ready for bigger pocket pcs or smaller laptops...... but I'd love to see a 8" tablet....... that's what I'm waiting for and I'm going to be waiting a while.

    I think in general the UMPC is a pretty hot idea, though it's taken OQO a very long time, and no profit, to get as far as they have.
