If it spread across the whole width of the UMPC, you wouldn’t be able to type and hold the device at the same time.

Of course, the prime logo real-estate was a happy bonus, one which if Gigabyte didn’t make the most of then more fool them!

How much of a discount/payoff did Gigabyte get to slap those corporate logos there?
