The tech community is predicting that OQO, the name behind one of the most popular UMPCs, will be launching a refresh called the OQO Model 2+. The update will use an Intel Atom processor, an OLED touchscreen, and 2 GB of RAM according to The Mobile Gadgeteer. No word on pricing yet until the announcement, which may happen at CES in Las Vegas.

UMPCs have traditionally been a bit more expensive than their netbook counterparts. No telling what the market will be for a refreshed ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) given the advancing features of netbooks. While UMPCs have sought to pack more features into a shrinking platform, netbooks are diverging offering more features into a platform with expanded screen real estate and full-sized keyboards.
