Ultra-mobile PCs use Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 (a true superset of Windows XP Pro) and the new Touch Pack software from Microsoft.  Small enough to fit in a large pocket or purse, you can stay connected, informed and entertained no matter where you go.

Ultra-mobile PCs give you the full power of a PC with the portability you need. You'll find a wide-range of uses with connectivity for exciting new location-specific capabilities with GPS as well as music and gaming.

Ultra-mobile PCs have specific hardware requirements for the user interface, form factor and other controls.

Microsoft's Touch Pack software gives Ultra-Mobile PCs the ability to be used with touch as well as with a pen.
