Loreda UNPC ad – Great ways of using UMPC

I do not think if it is a good idea to walk with a UMPC around your neck though.

Although I could not understand anything as it was all Chinese, but you can easily see the advantages of using UMPC as a mobile device. Also, one more thing is for sure: Chinese and Japanese people are more aware of the term UMPC than any other country in the world.

Also, since it comes with a 2600mAh battery, I doubt you can have all that fun throughout the day that they girl is having in the video.
