At a San Francisco press
briefing and product demonstration that hopefully went better than its disastrous Korean
counterpart last month, executives from Samsung, Microsoft, and Intel jointly announced pricing and availability
details for the official U.S. release of the Q1 UMPC. Starting on May 7th, early-adopters will be able to pick up a
Q1 -- along with all the high-profit-margin accessories -- at Best Buy's e-tail location for $1,100, with an in-store
rollout planned for "later this summer." As you're probably already aware, the Q1, along with models from Asus, Founder, and TabletKiosk, is among the first generation of so-called Ultra
Mobile PCs designed to enhance your on-the-go lifestyle, and sports a 7-inch touchscreen, Celeron M ULV processor, 40GB
hard drive, 512MB RAM, 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0.Sponsored Links
