Abstract: The announcement of Microsofts Origami concept, which promised a full-fledge computing device in a pocket-sized form factor and all-day computing, spawned the first UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) in the form of the Samsung Q1. Unfortunately, poor performance ...
Good hardware design; impressive array of accessories; built-in GPS receiver and digital camera
Heavy and slightly unwieldy; average battery life
