I just ran across a blog of a guy who's purchased a Samsung Q1b and had it delivered to his house. Head on over to propstm.net to check out his first impressions of the Samsung Q1b. I should be getting mine within a week. I've already played with one briefly and I have to say the battery life is much, much improved. Not only that, but the screen looks way better on the Q1b. When I get mine I'll be putting Vista on and seeing if the combination of the two will make the ultra mobile platform shine. | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 2 ] |

What you see here is what we're calling The Modular UMPC. It looks pretty good sitting all by itself, nice, small stylish, but the real power behind this UMPC is that a keyboard can snap onto it, or it can slide into a larger keyboard and display for a full-blown computing experience. This is a UMPC than can be added onto and expanded to satisfy your usage paradigm.

On Tuesday, UML introduced a very manly UMPC concept for high-powered businessman and we promised the next one would be for the modern woman. The Walletino is just the UMPC to keep you connected with your friends and family while out on the town. Designed to look just like that wallet you have stuffed full of money and credit cards, it hides a little secret. Open it up to find a large, bright LCD screen and a fully functioning PC.

Matthew Miller over at ZDNet recently mulled over purchasing a Zune or an iPod, but ultimately decided that his UMPC would be much better for consuming multimedia content.
Since the latest Apple iPod and Microsoft Zune announcements I have been trying to think of a way to take video and audio content with me on the go for viewing and listening to while commuting in the vanpool and traveling for business. I almost pulled the trigger on an 80GB iPod and then gave serious thought to the Zune and then yesterday almost went to my local Apple store to get the iPod. However, last night while recording the next MobileTechRoundup podcast Kevin and James asked why I would want to watch video on such a small screen and why not just use the Samsung Q1 UMPC for multimedia. I have actually been using the Q1 for video content on airplane trips and so their statements got me thinking about my desires and available resources just a bit more.
Read the full article to see his arguments for why the UMPC is the perfect multimedia platform. | | Click to Comment | Comments [ 1 ] |
