Improvements[edit source]

Perhaps the rollable lcd screen can be implemented (similar to the low-cost Readius). See http://www.readius.com/

The UMPC should be similar to the Techcrunch Crunchpad http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/07/21/we-want-a-dead-simple-web-tablet-help-us-build-it/

Perhaps the UMPC can be build with diy low-cost microcontrollers/motherboards such as the Roundsolutions C10/3 (or other as GPRS is not needed). See http://www.roundsolutions.com/uk_products.htm Other manufacturers include Parallax. 64-bit processors include the Intel Atom, yet these type of motherboards cannot be build yourself. Other possibilities are the ARM processors such as those present in intel mobile devices, smartphones, ebook readers, ... Of the latter, I am also not quite sure whether these circuits can be build diy. There are also embedded ARMS such as the http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6698241512.html
