What happens when three of the world’s topnotch companies come together to provide a unique end-user experience? Recently Samsung collaborated with Intel® and Microsoft to challenge the limits of mobile technology and deliver the world’s first ultra mobile PC (UMPC) called Q1.

This is by far the first and only device incorporating the UMPC platform developed by Microsoft and Intel, as part of the Origami project. Some might argue that the Q1 is Microsoft’s attempt to revive the Slate Tablet, but those claims have been finally put to rest.

Samsung Q1 defines a groundbreaking path for ultra mobile computing by integrating the capabilities of laptops, PDAs, smart phones, GPS systems, tablet PCs, storage devices, and media players such as PMPs or MP3 players, into one streamlined solution. The device addresses all concerns related to connectivity, computing performance, entertainment, and ultra mobility.

This new Windows-based PC is soon going to redefine how you compute on the go. Gone are the days when users complained of narrow bandwidth, slow transfer speeds, poor viewing, dismal sound quality, or ineffective synchronizing with the PCs. The Q1 breaks out of the mold of traditional mobile devices and represent a complete convergence of functionality, taking mobile computing to its highest level to date.

The first thing you will notice about the Q1 is its sleek and stylish packaging, not to forget the product itself is a stunner. Samsung has really worked hard on the overall appearance to make the Q1 look sophisticated. The pearl black casing is elegant and presumably, pricey.

The Q1 is a fully functional PC bundled with the Genuine Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet Edition 2005 operating system. Tipping the scale at a mere 1.71 pounds or 779 gm (without the optical disk drive) and measuring 9.0 by 5.5 by 1.0 inches, the Q1 is effortless to carry when commuting.

One of the major attractions of this device is the seven-inch WVGA Touch Screen LCD included in the front panel. With an array of controls on either side, it is a treat for the eyes, especially while watching movies or surfing the Internet. Having a touch screen means that the user does not need to use a stylus; the finger generally suffices. A built-in stand on the back end helps adjust the device in two positions.
