It is only fair to mention Samsung Q1 if I did it for Sony UMPC, UX390N.
At first, I did not pay much attention to the Q1P. It was a little over weight for its own good and it suffers most of the same problem as Sony's UX390N. After using it for Internet browsing and email for a few days, I think it is a slightly better product than UX390N, if used it at home.
Why is that? First, the resolution of its 7-inch screen was set at 800x480 as default. It is a much better viewing experience, comparing with UX390N's tiny screen at 1024x600. The performance is marginally better, though not a huge difference.
I would not say Samsung totally gets it though Q1P works a little better. It is still too expensive, too heavy and the cycle for recharge is not long enough. Let's see, after this year's CES (Consumer Electronics Show), what will come out of those vendors and whether UMPC will be a reality.
