He may be being a prick, but his point is still valid: Until battery life actually reaches at least 8 hours, and preferably more like 12 to 16, there's nothing "ultra-mobile" about these PCs. Just what am I supposed to do with one of these? Be out of the office, working, and then say, "Whoops! Looks like I'll need to go recharge for a couple of hours!" Or, alternatively, carry around three or four spare batteries?
Until I can get through a working day (10 hours at minimum) on a single charge, I'm going to have to agree with Rick Person. The UMPC is immature and unworkable as a business solution.
