Read the free UMPC Buyer's Guide 2008!

UMPCPortal.com was kind enough to compile a great PDF covering many of the common questions people have about buying small form-factor computers. Everything from the differences in mobile processors to what the various features are at different device sizes, to how battery life has evolved in the last several years is all covered here.

I know I'm dreaming for now, but it can't be far off. Additional details available
