What is the difference between a PMP and UMPC?

First of all, for those that don’t know, a PMP is a Portable Media Player and a UMPC is an Ultra Mobile Personal Computer. For an example of a UMPC, see my article on the Samsung Q1. Both devices are able to perform most functions done by PCs, but also act as portable movie and music players. The differences are very slight. If there is a difference, it is in how they are operated. PMPs specialise in multimedia functions, and other than a few products, most cannot setup and run programs. On the other hand, the Samsung Q1 Ultra is meant to be a PC. If you prefer, you can install multimedia programs in the Q1 Ultra and easily access music, movies or TV through DMB.
