Via Intros Chipset for Ultra Mobile PCs

The chipset could be used in future versions of UMPCs. The first crop of UMPCs have begun to appear in retail outlets already, but consumers and analysts alike have given the devices a mostly lukewarm reception.

Samsung's Q1, a $1,099 UMPC that packs a lot of functionality into a small case, has received mixed reviews, which some reviewers claiming that it is too expensive for what it can do and others saying it is too bulky to be truly useful.

But if UMPCs were to get smaller, they might be able to live up to their initial billing as a new format of computer that can bring together the capabilities of a laptop with the portability of a PDA.
