Intel UMPC, Manual

5 Conclusion 

Game developers and architects providing support for the UMPC platform in 
mainstream game offerings can develop a discrete set of design considerations 
that address common issues that arise during the development process. The 
best practices described in this document provide a foundation for that effort. 
Because Windows-based UMPCs run a full version of the operating system, it 
typically requires less effort to provide this support than a full port to a 
separate operating environment. Thus, an incremental effort may expand a 
game's market to include the expanding deployment of the UMPC platform, 
providing a competitive advantage to the game software provider.
