I love the Ultra Compact Laptop concept... but I am not gettin one (already).

I love their weight, I love their simplicity (meaning of reduced functionality when you try a positive approach).

I love that they have become the natural (and long time wanted) niche for desktop Linux.

I love that the idea came from a project (OLPC) to help people, which demostrates (again) that helping other moves the world.

But... if they provide almost the same than the OLPC, Why should I purchase one of the existing UCL (Asus Eee PC, HP Mini Note, ) instead of waiting a liitle more and paying a little less for a OLPC. Yes, yes... I am gessing that they will be available for anyone, and probably they will not be in the beginning. But... Can anybody think that the manufacturers will reject to increase their sales? I never knew a salesman like that!

In any case... Who will be the winner in this "UCL Wars"? Well, I don't know (of course). But if you want me to guess, I should say Apple. I will not believe if Steve Jobs can let the opportunity fly. Can you think a UCL made by Apple? MacBook Air Light, MacNotepad... Ok, Apple guys, call it the way you want, but YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT. We need you to make it.
