Best Buy has the Q1 for $999 - $100 off the regular price. If you are looking to buy the Q1 get this now. So Does this deal mean Best Buy is getting the Q1b soon with a higher spec and a lower price?

Q1 was there and we have had dozens of reviews. Let’s welcome the Q1b which might be in some ways better configured than the Q1.
The Q1b will be powered by a VIA VX700 integrated chipset, which might give some better battery performance. Upto 1GB of Ram and 60 GB Hard drive. Other than that there is no much difference between the two.

Kevin over at jkOnTheRun reports that Samsung has updated the firmware.
First up is the Samsung Battery Manager application. On my Q1, if I click Help, About in the Battery Manager application, Sammy shows me v.2.1.1.8. If you look on the Samsung Q1 download page, however, you see that v.2.2.0.0 is available. Realizing that I should have been a Hollywood Stuntman, I took the risk of downloading and installing the 2.2.0.0 version and sure enough, it’s upgraded on my Q1. Unfortunately typical of many companies that provide software, there’s no listing of features or fixes in this version. (And this is acceptable because…..?)
Samsung updates are out, Or are they? [jkOnTheRun]

Many UMPCs yet only a few
Posted by Joe in Analysis, General, Hardware, Samsung and Specs. 5 CommentsWhen UMPC was launched there were only 3 of them Samsung Q1, Asus R2h and the Founfer Mini-note (Compared here) Let’s see, How many do we have today.
- Samsung Q1
- TabletKiosk eo 7100 series
- TabletKiosk eo 7200 series
- PBJ SmartCaddie
- Pioneer Dreambook PC700
- Asus R2H
- ECS H70
- Founder Mininote
- Daewoo Lucoms M1 Solo
Looks like there are quite a lot of these UMPCs to choose from, but the Tabletkiosk eo 7100 series, SmartCaddie and the Dreambook are the same. The ECS H70, Founder Mininote, Daewoo Lucoms and the Tabletkiosk eo 7200 series are the same. Taking these in to consideration all we have are 4 models including the Samsung Q1 and the Asus R2H.
