Samsung must have been really busy with their mainstream products like TVs and Mobile phone and PMPs, but they managed to squeeze in a premium version of their Q1 ultra UMPC. The interesting thing is the battery life at 7.5 hours!
According to JKK — “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.

Remember the SPH-P9000 [deets here], samsung is ready to launch it’s successor.
The device will have
- 5″ screen touch screen
- Windows XP
- 30 GB HDD
- WiMax
and we assume it would have the rest of the features that we usually need in a UMPC. The main differentiating factor being a full foldable QWERTY keyboard.
