I thought it would be nice to compare the Everun with my old HP Jornada HandheldPC. Although the Everun is smaller, it has more power under the hood. But the Jornada was not a bad device at all. It came with a lot of software, like (stripped down versions of) Word, Excel, PPT and you could even manage some small Access databases. The screen has a resolution of 640 x 240, the OS is HandheldPC 2000.
Microsoft abandoned the HandheldPC platform in favor of the touchscreen-only PocketPC, and that evolved into Windows Mobile 6 today. But these days, more and more PPC's are seeing the light of day, having a qwerty keyboard. And the HTC Advantage 7500/7501 is getting close to an umpc with it's large screen (640 x 480) and keyboard. It looks like high-end PocketPC's are growing into low-end umpc's. Still, I think a device running software intended for small devices, like Windows Mobile or Symbian, is not a umpc.
