When Samsung launched their Q1 UMPC, personally I did not like the design, look and feel of it. This has changed with the Q2.
The design of the product looks very promising. Here are some of the improvements over the previous design
- Built in QWERTY keyboard without the sliding or opening of anything.
- HSDPA & WiBRO support
- They claim it’s around 1.5 lbs which is great & less than 1 inch.
- A standard battery that lasts for 4 hrs
- 6 hrs of battery life with the extended battery
- A built in camera
- and more accessories
..While some of the specs appear to be identical to the beefed-up Q1P — like the
- 7-inch touchscreen
- 1GB of RAM
- 60GB hard drive
- an unknown Intel (not Via) CPU running Vista Home Premium
- a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA resolution (no 800 x 600 here)
- two digital cameras (1.3 megapixel for “photography” and 0.3 megapixel for videoconferencing)
- and a fingerprint scanner
- split QWERTY keyboard and
- Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi (802.11b/g), HSDPA, and WiBro.
This is a great improvement than what we have had so far. Engadget has more pictures — Samsung Q2 UMPC revealed! [engadget]
Isn’t that a pepperpad, or its long lost cousin?
Yep — I think the keyboard thing is copied!, no borrowed
from the pepperpad!
