   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Ultra-Mobile PC

A lightweight, small tablet PC with an on-screen keyboard introduced in 2006. Weighing two pounds or less and using a hard drive for all content, the Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) runs under the Windows Tablet PC operating system with Touch Pack software. Touch Pack provides an on-screen keyboard that is operated with the thumbs as well as enlarged buttons for menus that are easier to tap with the fingers. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are included.

Formerly code named "Origami," the Ultra-Mobile PC followed the Portable Media Center, introduced in 2004. See Portable Media Center.
