Breaking: HP’s UMPC 2133 details hit the blogosphere

Looks like Engadget has the details on the fortcoming HP 2133 “UMPC.” Some details, “.9-inch 1366 x 766 (WXGA) display, ExpressCard/54 slot, Wireless LAN, nearly full-sized QWERTY (95% of full), integrated webcam, and optional SSD in a 2.5-pound anodized aluminum sex pot running Vista or Linux.”

I put “UMPC” in quotes, because although this is a small form-factor computer, like the ASUS Eee PC, it’s lacking touch or an active digitizer, also like the ASUS. There’s also no way to fold down the display into Tablet mode.

This may not be a bad thing for the “UMPC” moniker. Maybe it’s a time to just let all small computers be called UMPCs whether they have touch or not Instead, let’s begin calling touch-capable devices “Origami”–the popular code name originally used for the device. I like it even better.
