UMPC
The Ultra-MobIle PC (abbreviated UMPC), previously known by its codename Project Origami, is a specification for a small form factor TabletPC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-Mobile_PC
UMPCs have enough processing power to support audio, video, and gaming, in addition to having rich support for browsing the internet as well as for other communication and networking applications. For that you need a Hard Drive and a fair amount of processing power. Increasing cost, and reducing battery time.
tends to be associated with Microsoft Operating System - MID is a bit different. 2007-04-16-IntelLinuxUmpc
