Post Is it time for UMPC prices to fall?

CNet is covering the new product announcements from Via at Computex.
One of my favorites, is the NanoBook prototype:
"The NanoBook will run for about five hours on a battery charge when running Windows XP, said Richard Brown, vice president of marketing at Via. The computer comes with a 1.2GHz C7 chip, a 30GB hard drive and up to 1GB of memory.
The NanoBook also comes with a seven-inch screen, sports a regular (albeit slightly smaller) keyboard and weighs about 1.8 pounds. PC makers will sell it for $599 or less, cheaper than similar computers. Samsung said its latest Q1 ultramobile computers, powered by Intel chips, will cost between $799 and $1,199. Oqo charges $1,499 for its PC.
$599? Not bad. Imagine where the UMPC market would be if prices were down in this range today.
