How did we miss this? If you’ve been reading about the UMPC’s then you should have come across carrypad.com’s definition of an UMPC, in that case this is an UMPC. Microsoft and some other do have a varied defenition of the device. In anycase this device is placed between the palm tops and laptops (so you decide)

According to Seamless Wifi this new device while maintaining its small size, has been specifically designed with a fully deployable folding “QWERTY� keyboard for data manipulation and navigation allowing the user ease of access.

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.

It’s all about the price and options, You’ll get the UMPC with a FREE flexible keyboard and the recent press release also notes that, a small adapter which will plugs into the base of the unit and is expected to cost less than twenty dollars when released later this month. So a Dock! or something like that for less thatn 20 bucks.
Guys how about adding some
colors, or say some faceplates
