Samsung Q1: The unboxing Ceremony

Kevin of jkOnTheRun posted a video of the unboxing ceremony.

I ordered it, Best Buy sent it and UPS delivered it! Yup, the Samsung Q1 UMPC is in da house! This is the official “live” unboxing of the device and I try to show you every component of the Q1 packaging and contents. Overall, I’m very impressed; the packaging almost justifies that $1,099 price tag. Well, not quite, but really, it is packaged nicely. It’s all here, so why don’t you virtually unbox a Samsung Q1 with us?

Media Center Extender Software for UMPC

Posted by Joe in Shopping. 2 Comments

According the CE pro the UMPC will have a special media center extender software.

The especially good news for Media Center Edition aficionados is that Microsoft will enable Origami to serve as a Media Center Extender (MCX). Microsoft is coming out with a software version of MCX expressly for Origami, meaning these little touchscreens can serve as a slave to any MCE in the house, so users can play recorded content, exploit Online Spotlight, use the electronic programming guide — anything they can do with other MCXs (and most things they can do with an MCE).

So much of the Waiting: Pre-Order Samsung Q1

Posted by Joe in Samsung and Shopping. 0 Comments

About a Week back play.com started taking pre-orders at ~$1400 (£799.99), Now Expansys is offering it at the same price, yes they ship to US too. Click here to pre-order yours at Expansys.

Engadget also states…

US pricing, once announced, will almost certainly be lower…

Oh we wish too, a lot cheaper. Via [engadget]
