UMPC.com has a nice little video showing off how the average person will probably be using Microsoft’s latest upcoming product, the Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer.

Having used a Sprint PPC-6700 for a few months now, I can definitely see the advantages of these handy little devices. On the flip side, I do wonder about the cost compared to a laptop. I also will be watching to see what mobile wireless plans become available for the devices, as EVDO plans are still slightly out of what I’d be willing to pay.

However, if these UMPCs become popular enough, their acceptance within the mainstream community could do wonders with pushing down mobile wireless broadband prices for everyone.
