Finally, after a long wait we were able to fulfill our dream vacation by taking some San Francisco tours . After landing in the airport, we went directly to the place where we were assigned to stay and went out afterwards, very eager to see all the wonderful places San Francisco has for us.

There are indeed so many hills in San Francisco. My most favorite is the Russian hill and I am not sure if that place is full of blooming flowers all year round, but when we visited, different colors of lovely flowers are exploding all over us. The time was perfect for strolling because the weather is fine we had a very mild climate. We went to museums and some are almost as grand as the Metropolitan museum of art, while traveling I noticed that there are only few personal cars in the city, instead most of the people are happy to commute and riding a bus instead, a bus that really looks new to us because there are doors in every side. But, I admire them because obviously there is less traffic and pollution.

Now, when the time came for us to go to The Golden Gate, my niece was so excited to have her picture take from there. Finally we arrived at our destination But to her utter disappointment and to our laugh, she solemnly ask “Mom, I thought we were going to see a pure GOLD GATE?”

What is UMPC?

Little Laptops – that’s what they call it. More and more people are opting to buy a UMPC nowadays, and that prompted me to search more for the specifications of these Ultra Mobile PC, UMPC for short and also known as Project Origami.

Google Search tells me that a UMPC:

- runs on Windows OSs including while others run on specially adapted versions of Linux.

- and low-voltage Intel Pentium or VIA C7-M processors in the 1 GHz range.

- The touch screen is sized 8 inches. (so small)

- Suitable for use of stylus as well as hand

- The Project Origami Ultra-Mobile PC is just a platform for which manufacturers can design any model they want, provided they meet or exceed the baseline specifications laid down by Intel and Microsoft. However, UMPC’s are capable of running a full version of most PC operating systems.

- UMPCs with Windows XP installed are able to run any software that has been written for the Windows XP platform, though the small form factor often mandates some changes to the interface.

- The standard Windows XP interface is the default, though a choice of having an interface more suited for the small form factor is available with the Touch Pack Interface.

- As the units are so small, many UMPCs do not feature a physical keyboard, but an on-screen virtual keyboard provided in the Touch Pack Interface. Also, since the device has standard USB 2.0 connectivity, external keyboards and mice can be attached.

- 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. Windows Media Player is included, with a special skin designed to provide a better experience on the small screen. The devices also feature DirectX 9–class graphics, and all applications available for standard Tablet PCs are expected to be compatible.

- Battery life is expected to increase from the initial 2½ hours to 8 hours.

How about the Price?

Surprisingly, the price ranges from P17,000 to P70,000, it just depends on the brand.

How it Looks

Some brands also features sim slots for HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, is a new protocol for mobile telephone data transmission. It is known as a 3.5G (G stands for generation) technology. Essentially, the standard will provide download speeds on a mobile phone equivalent to an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) line in a home, removing any limitations placed on the use of your phone by a slow connection.)

As I understand, it functions more like a regular PC or laptop, the size is the only big difference. You can install programs, connect with the internet, use webcams, wifi, bluetooth, sim, memory cards… what else? Uh - the battery life… more or less a full charge battery can last up to 2 hours only. Unless you are using 6-cell battery. There are also a variety of colors to choose from - black to pink!

But, as of this time I am still confused how to classify a UMDC from netbooks and so many other names that are appearing now. For now, I’ll just leave it to that. Let us just see what the future brings, computing devices really runs fast, it is hard to catch up with the latest!

I am not sure what brands has the most reliable product now… If you have one now, maybe you could share its performance, so you might help us decide what to purchase if times comes we decide to change our laptop and desktop PC.

Good

I think (I believe)  they are good because:

1. Capturing precious moments have never been so easy.

2. The higher the memory of you digi cam is, the more pictures you can take and store.

3.  Digi cams are pricey, but are low-in maintenance and printing.

Bad 

Bad because…

1. I just think that almost everybody has a digi cam now, with the help your computer           and printer, you can easily print you precious photos in a minute.

and the downside is…I am just thinking about those photographers who makes a living

by taking pictures of tourists on scenic spots all over the country, just like in Baguio,

they are getting lesser customers each day, with the birth of digital cameras.

Well, that is life, we really have to evolve.
