      Can confirm this is the case here - the error message is complaining that the entry point for EncodePointer could not be found, and EncodePointer was first introduced in SP2

    I remember this one to be by far the least quirky and the most solid among UMPCs. Not so practical for real world uses, none of UMPCs were, but the perfection shows in the briefness of this video. It's exactly what it looks like, and there's no special care needed. Most others has creaks and flexes and rooms for tweaks.

    2000s Sony was nice, some stupid stuff like the CD rootkits (in defense of the Memory Stick: SD wasn't the only competitor but also CompactFlash/Microdrive, MMC, SmartMedia and xD and some digital cameras from the 2000s also had some proprietary USB connectors while Sony was using mini-USB "B" and/or i.Link (4-pin FireWire)), but they did a bunch of quirky things like their Qualia product line (the 016 was a tiny digital camera in 2003 around that time first mobile phones with cameras appeared, the Siemens S55 seemed to be one of the first but its camera wasn't integrated, it was externally connected via the charging/data port), their NW-A3000 walkman was one of the first with an OLED screen in 2006 and the XEL-1 in 2008 the world's first OLED TV, just 11" small with 960x540 (but that's equal to a 22" screen with 1920x1080.
    It also matches with their slogan "like.no.other" at that time.
    It's a little sad that such UMPCs, Netbooks and Tablet-PCs got mostly killed off by the iPad and Tablet boom, however at least the Tablet-PCs returned just a few years later with the Microsoft Surface (Pro) and Windows 8 that had finally a UI made for touch control and we got Ultrabooks now, but a
