mobility one step father in order to create and the ability to use
the Intel architecture ecosystem that [exists there, which are] all
the PC applications, all the plug-ins and everything that runs on
the Internet today will really be able to run on these small
devices.
So, first of all, technology. If our 2006 product is one in size of a
package and power of the CPU, everything about UMPC is
about shrinking power and shrinking size. So we're going to cut
the power by half and the size by three-quarters in the product
we are going to launch in the first half of next year. We're going
to take it significant [step] further. We are basically going to
[decimate] the power and make another push on the size. Going
forward, we'll integrate more and more functions to make the
product smaller, better and better power. And this is all about
the innovation about UMPC.
But technology is not sufficient. You have to have other things,
other technologies, other capabilities into the platform. It is all
about the platform. So we are working with partners on anytime
wireless, optimized displays, making sure that the 5- to 7-inch
displays are bright, good resolution, low power, to make sure
that it delivers the quality of the video, the graphics, the pictures
that you want to have, that we get the right peripherals and
other technologies like GPS and TV that people would want to
have, especially on their ultramobile devices. It's all about the
Internet. We all know that. The good thing about this device,
that you could carry it with you and still have an Internet access.
