Samsung reveals Q1 Ultra in US

Second time lucky for the UMPC?

NEWS: 8 May 2007 17:15 GMT by Amy-Mae Elliott

Samsung, Stateside, today showed off the Q1 Ultra, the successor to the Q1 UMPC that was launched to mixed reviews about this time last year.

The Ultra now has an inbuilt keyboard – although it's split either side of the screen (designed for thumb typing), a claimed 4.5-hours battery life and is a lot more slim-lime than the first incarnation. There's a 1.3 megapixel camera for still photos and videos, the screen is a 7-inch wide touchscreen with greatly improved resolution, while connectivity has been given a tweak too.

The price in dollars is set to be "from $799", considerably cheaper than the Q1 and a lot closer to the UMPC-in-every-consumer's-hands dream that was supposed to go along with this new form factor.

A whole pile of accessories from external disk drives, extra batteries, a USB docking station to GPS receivers means this hits the US market with more branded accessories that Bad Hair Day Barbie.

European pricing and launch info to hopefully follow…
