This device leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It's not a light and small as an itouch, neither is as practical and versatile as a 11/12 inch Sony laptop for slightly more dollars. ]]>Jan 6th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/
The number 1 problem I have with it is that streaming/playing video hitches and stutters when the WiFi is enabled. As soon as I disable it, plays just fine. Driver problem I guess...

The second biggest problem with it is the keyboard. It was too small and the keys aren't back-lit. Looks like they fixed half of that.

The third is the mouse nub and arrow keys. They should swap sides. And the arrows should be designed like a Gamepad's D-Pad so it's actually possible to play MAME games.]]>Jan 6th 2008 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/
I thought that was the point of UMPC's were to be a step between phones and laptops PRICE INCLUDED.

When they get these things to 500 or less, I won't consider them. With laptop prices dropping faster than UMPC's I don't see if they will ever be priced to market.

Wonder why the eePC is doing so well?? Its simple. PRICE v/s OPTIONS, but mostly PRICE.

Sub 500 for this device and I would have had one a long time ago...

UMPC IS dead. The reign of linux has begun!!!

Hrmm... maybe when the price of ssds drop. they can throw that in a device and take up less space, allowing them to design something MOBILE!

Intel dumped their UMPC projects to pursue linux based mobile devices and web 2.0 suite (shh... don't tell them I told you, they'll can me). Why? Lower requirements, lower price, no MSFT red tape, more features and longer battery life.

Devices like the Eee PC have proven that consumers do not need windows to have the full featured mobile experience they want. Don't be a poor sport. Maybe you can sell yours on ebay, buy some books and become a smarter shopper. Good luck to ya.

PS the nokia has a slide out keyboard-]]>Jan 7th 2008 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/]]>Jan 6th 2008 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 6th 2008 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/06/samsung-announces-q1-ultra-premium-umpc/Jan 16th 2008 1:21PM
