Directions in UMPC-land

We have UMPCs with full-size keyboards, full-size screens, plenty of storage, and longish battery life. They're called "laptops".

But they're not ultra-mobile (i.e. smaller than laptop), are they?

My first reaction was the same to comments here that appeared to be, "a tiny computer would be great if only it weren't so small." But then I realized people were talking about ways to get all the advantages of size without size. e.g. a roll-up or projected keyboard, a high resolution but small display, solid state storage.
