Vega: 7 hours of Audio

Steve at Carrypad.com is reporting that you can use Vega UMPC for 7 hours playing music with the screen off. After reading this I wonder why somebody would buy an iPod if for some hundred dollars more you can get a Mini PC that does the same and can play movies at a higher resolution and on top of that could keep you connected to Internet and give you all the functionality of a PC? A real 4 in 1 device: Portable DVD, iPod, Internet communicator and PC.
