Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium gets official

"The initial Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC – Model: Q1UP-XP, Part Number: NP-Q1U/P01 – is based on the Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system, and will be available for an MSRP of $1,399.00. To make room for this new model, Samsung will be lowering the price of their entire family of Q1 Ultra UMPC systems.

Read more..

"Fueled by a 1.33GHz ULV Intel Core Solo U1500 Pentium CPU running at a clock speed of 1.33 GHz, along with 1 GB of high-speed DDR2 system memory, the Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC is a no-compromise, high-performance mobile computing solution that offers full PC functionality in an ultra-light, sub 2 pound package.

Powering this advanced platform is a 57.7 watt hour Lithium Ion polymer 6-cell battery that will provide up to 7.5 hours of battery life. Additionally, this new model features the split-QWERTY keypad – Version 1.5 – which provides larger, improved keycaps making text entry even easier now. With these advances, combined with the UMPC’s enhanced features and ultra-portable form-factor, the Q1 Ultra Premium is a compelling solution for those mobile applications that require a no-compromise, PC-compatible, ultra portable solution."

GPS navigation with UMPC just got cheaper

Garmin Mobile PC software is fully featured navigation suite for $59..

Continue reading..

"Garmin Mobile PC features the same easy-to-use "Where to?" and "View map" interface found on the Garmin nuvi(R) and StreetPilot(R).

Garmin Mobile PC offers much more than traditional trip planning. Users can use their laptop to receive turn-by-turn, voice-prompted directions to their destination, similar to Garmin's traditional portable navigation devices. If a turn is missed along the way, Garmin Mobile PC will automatically recalculate the route and get them back on track.

Garmin Mobile PC also provides free access to Garmin Online services. This real-time, internet data service simplifies trip planning by providing live weather, flight status, hotel rates (U.S. only), fuel prices (U.S. only) and safety camera data (Europe only, with subscription)."

InPlay integrates active digitizer and multi-finger capacitive touch to UMPCs

Maybe handwriting on umpc will see a better day as InPlay will be showing their 7 inch active digitizer at CES..

Continue reading..

"The new MPCD-970 series integrates active digital pen and multi-finger capacitive touch inputs, allowing
the user to choose the most natural and effective input means. The active digital pen optimizes
handwriting recognition and allows for added digital features. The multi-finger capacitive touch screen
offers a quick, proximity sensing, intuitive interface for cursor selection and navigation."

Multi-finger capacitive touch sounds good too... but we would like to get some software too... to actually use it..

Redfly Mobile Companion, UMPC sized smartphone "extender"

REDFLY is new Foleo, but with less features..

Continue reading..

It has same size and weight as 7 inch UMPCs, but with 8 inch 800 x 480 screen ( no touch )

It has 2 usb ports, bluetooth and vga out. ( no wifi )

...And software which let's you use your Windows Mobile phone from it's keyboard and mouse, showing WM interface stretched to that 8 inch screen. ( no internal sw, browser etc. )

...And it will cost you $500.

It better be a super good software as i can do all this with Asus Eee and any other UMPC... There are similar software's, some even for free...

But let them show more at CES, maybe there is something more...

Btw. look at that keyboard.. same as in Eee PC, Korean Kohjinsha and Flybook..

CNET Asia: Asus Eee PC is the best UMPC

Some say it's not a UMPC, but I say it's more ultra, more mobile and more PC than some "real" UMPCs!
I don't agree on all "winners" there, but I must say Everun is good pick.. I would add Q1 Ultra and OQO to that list.
