Chairman Bill Gates holds a model of an ultra-mobile concept PC Monday, April 25, 2005 in Seattle that he said was a futuristic example of the use of Windows Operating System technology. Gates delivered the opening keynote address at the 2005 Microsoft Windows Hardware Engineering Conference." During his WinHEC 2005 keynote, Bill Gates showed a concept device - it's a vastly shrunken Tablet PC-type device with a touchscreen and (presumably) wireless hardware. In many ways, this looks like a very slick device, but I'm always concerned about battery life in small devices that have hard drives and large, bright screens. This device looks ideal for Web browsing and video playback, but largely useless for most other tasks...but I'd need to learn more before making any further snap judgments. ;-) You can find more photos of WinHEC hardware in the Microsoft PressPass gallery, including a high-resolution image of that Ultra-Portable concept device (1.26 MB).
