I'm not talking about weight Zorg...duh...maybe you should lay off the reefer.  Same goes for you prosthetichead, think more and talk less.  Not trying to imply they had 800mhz processors in 1991.  What I'm trying to imply is that these UMPCs are very immature.  If you were living in 1991 and I made an identical analogy comparing a 91 laptop to a 1980's PC both you idiots would have made the same stupid comments.  For the educated here I'm sure the majority will wait another 5 years when they are instant on, have 3ghz processors, a boatload of memory, run a good 8 hours on a single charge and cost less than $500.  Right now its nothing more than an overpriced toy.  Enough said.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rick Person]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2007 11:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[Stop being such a prick.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 4:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[He may be being a prick, but his point is still valid: Until battery life actually reaches at least 8 hours, and preferably more like 12 to 16, there's nothing "ultra-mobile" about these PCs. Just what am I supposed to do with one of these? Be out of the office, working, and then say, "Whoops! Looks like I'll need to go recharge for a couple of hours!" Or, alternatively, carry around three or four spare batteries?<br><br>Until I can get through a working day (10 hours at minimum) on a single charge, I'm going to have to agree with Rick Person. The UMPC is immature and unworkable as a business solution.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CapnVan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 5:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow, you are clueless.  UMPC's are NOT desktop replacements.  Hell, they're not even laptop replacements.  If you want power then go get a laptop/desktop.  UMPC's are about mobility. Why would you need so much power in device thats you would only want to be running a few apps at the same time?<br><br>CapnVan:<br>As far as I'm aware.. the normal battery for the Ultra is ...4 hours? And the extended battery is about 7.  Theres also the Everun which is like 6 hours and 12 on the extended (but it pulls it off by being such a small device).<br><br>Jeff:<br>Not sure if your going to see this but... the finger print reader is only about $15, so the extra price on the Q1U-V is just for Vista.<br><br>Why did you buy the Q1U-V when it seems you actually want the Q1U-XP?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pc_Madness]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2007 10:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[It didn't say how much ram is aboard. I could run Red Hat 4 with Open Office just fine on my 600 MHz Dell with 512 MB sdram. With a flash HD and 1 GB DDR I would think this would be just fine for a lot of applications if they would just drop all the weight it takes to run XP. No, it wouldn't be a multimedia powerhouse, but you could store a respectable amount of Music and office work on board. With usb peripherals a user could put together the perfect combination for consulting or on the run business. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chrisB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 4:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[F-ing hell. <br><br>I've had a Q1U-V for a few weeks. It doesn't have the fingerprint reader and only has a 60GB HD and it cost $50 MORE than the Q1U-XP model which was supposed to ship with a 60GB HD. <br><br>This is the second time they've done this. <br><br>The originally were shipping the Q1U-EL with a 600MHZ A100 and then just before shipping it - without really telling anyone - changed it to the 800MHz A110 and removed the Bluetooth radio.. and then upped the price almost $100.<br><br>I've never seen a company a screw up a product launch this badly. Constantly changing products (based on their website and marketing info - and their support line's info), constantly changing prices - and way behind schedule on launching the actual devices (based on their own published ship dates).<br><br>They should offer a one to one exchange 'downgrade' for Q1U-V owners who want the Q1U-XP device instead. No rebate or refund - just a straight swap. I'd be happy with that.<br><br>Mind you, Samsung barely honours their warranty and have told most of their resellers 'no returns', so I suspect this is a pipedream at best. <br><br>*sigh*.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Lewis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2007 7:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[You said<br>"Q1U-XP boasts a 800MHz A110 processor and an 80GB hard drive"<br><br>They said<br>"The Q1U-XP UMPC--powered by the 800MHz A110 Ultra Mobile processor and a 60GB hard disk drive"<br><br>What's the Gig?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 31st 2007 12:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces three new Q1 Ultra models]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/samsung-announces-three-new-q1-ultra-models/</guid><description><![CDATA[The gig is 60, engadget have got it wrong.
