    i've been checking out some UMPC MID devices that run windows, and i've been wondering if some of these (or reasonably built and priced chinese copies) are available sa filipino chinese shops sa 168/greenhills/divisoria:

    1. vaio ux series slider running xp/vista (no stock sa sony center)
    2. vaio p series running xp/vista (no stock sa sony center)
    3. oQo model 1 or 2+ xp/vista (no retailer apart from 1 guy in sulit)

    searching sa sulit.com and tipidpc, konti lang nagbebenta ng mga ganito... usually mga netbook. now my job requires me to travel quite a lot, and while i have a notebook pc to lug around when i have a vehicle, pagdating sa air travel, ayoko na magdala ng laptop bag.

    netbooks are fine, but i think medyo malaki pa rin sila for my taste. parang naka notebook pc ka rin pag binitbit but without the power and speed of a real laptop. i'd rather have a pc i can fit in my camera bag instead of lugging around an extra bag for a netbook. smaller screen and storage compromises i willingly take on this one.

    now my questions are:

    1. which of the 3 choices do you think would be the best bang for the buck?
    2. who/where is the largest retailer for these types of machines?
    3. are there generic copies of these devices sa electronics shops sa divisoria? (i know there are copies of the iPad there, though, pero windows machines, dunno).
    4. name some devices of this sort (but with qwerty keypad) available locally but priced lower naman, please?
    5. kumusta ba gamitin mga 'to? hindi ba ko tatawagin na wimp pag nilabas ko to sa mga public places, hehe?
