The new Samsung Q1 tablet-pc is so small and light they had to invent a new name for it, the UMPC (ultra mobile PC). The Q1 is based on the Microsoft Origami cocnept and fits somewhere inbetween a tablet PC nad a PDA device, sounds cool but nothing realy special.

The basics:
The hart of the device is a Celeron M processor with 900MHz, the strongest model has a 40GB hard drive and up to 1GB memmory. The face of the device is a 7-inch touch screen display capable of showing 800x480 pixels of the preinstalled Windows XP.




And now comes the fun part.
Q1 supports 802.11 b/g wireless network, Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP, and the standard 10/100 Ethernet. The USB 2.0, and VGA output come without question. Optional GPS and DMB (and presumably DVB too) mobile digital TV expansion modules will be available, as well as WiBRO support for when that goes live in Korea around June.

The Q1 is a nice little toy, has sufficent power so you dont have to drag those heavy laptops arround, wich is kinda the point, and you'd be able to connect it to anything anywhere. The competition Asus, Averatec, Founder and Via have announced similar devices.

The new Samsung Q1 UMPC starts selling in 4 days at about $1100.
