So Have you wondered what that “Windows Vista Capable” means? Well according to Microsoft this is what it is!. So I installed the Vista RC1 (I’m still looking for the RC2 but could not get it -any clue?) The install was pretty straight, it was getting all the drivers which was way trickier than I thought.
So you see that R2H easily qualifies what Microsoft demands. Well does it do everything that is expected of it? That’s exactly what we wanted to find out. It takes about an hour to complete the full installation. Believe it or not “Vista is way better than the Windows XP Tablet Version on this device”.

First Impression: Awesome.
So far so good, I bought the Samsung Q1 and returned the device within a couple of days, but this one is for me. I love the device so far (well its been only 6 hours since I started using it). The unit feels a bit heavy for the size and may be it’s just the first impression but believe me its really sturdy and has a great feel with the brushed metal finish.
I’m still getting used to the device. I was really surprised and happy to see that Asus has bundled the extended battery with it (not sure if it will be the default for all US models though). They also throw a case, mini mouse (still handles very well) and screen cleaning cloth. Make sure to come back for more detailed review.

Well for sure they are different, but the fact that these were the first available UMPCs in the market targeted at 2 different crowds - says CTitanic. He has been the owner of the eo for a long time now and he just received his Q1 and shares his thoughts on the devices.
The verdict: “The Samsung Q1 and the eo V7100 are two completely different machines targeting two different market share.“
So, is the Q1 better? No. There is not such thing as the best UMPC. The Q1 is good in many things but I find the button layout, the screen sensitive and the joystick mouse more important features for me than all those present in the Q1. I use for long period of time my eo holding it with my two hands -PSP style - something that I can’t do with my Q1.
There are many things that each company could learn from each other, that’s for sure.
The Q1 is the best multimedia UMPC while eo V7110 is a perfect working machine. The eo v7110 have a lot bigger selection of 2.5″ HDDs that can be installed on it and they are a lot cheaper than the 1.8″ used in Samsung’s Q1. And it’s a lot easier to replace the HDD in an eo than in a Q1. This probably will make the eo the option number 1 for any IT Manager in charge of any large Production Company [...]

CNET, UK for some reason wanted to compare the Samsung Q1 and the Apple Newton which was released ten years ago. One thing that is surprising from the results is that the Newton was declared the winner!

They are comparing various aspects of both. CNET declares Apple Newton as the winner. If you were do decide which one will it be?
