Samsung Q1 gets 2 pages

One of my favourite Australian PC Magazines, APC, has released a two page review of the Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC. Although due to copyright I can�t scan the article and allow you to see it I can give you a taste of the Authors thoughts. His name is Anthony Caruana, a Melbourne based freelance tech journalist whom I had the pleasure of meeting on one of my recent trips to Melbourne. If you ever meet Anthony you�ll instantly realize one thing��Geek!�

The article reads pretty well and shapes up UMPC as a device with portability possibilities yet gives warning to �inherent limitations.� The thing I like most about the article is its use of a real life case study by means of UMPC and TabletKiosk reseller Apex Mobile Tech. Here are some quotes from Anthony�s article.

��the NP-Q1 looks like it�s being pitched at the more image-conscious amongst us.�

�When you first hold a UMPC, it�s the screen that stands out. The NP-Q1�s 7in display is clear, but we couldn�t help thinking that a couple of weeks of heavy use with a stylus might lead to some scratching.�

�Our main complaint is that the provided stylus is a short plastic stick � and not all that comfortable to use for extended periods of time.�

�Overall if you�re looking for a portable device for field work or meetings, then the NP-Q1 UMPC could well fit the bill � but be aware of its inherent limitations.�

Darrell Cann of Yarra Valley Valuations in the outer suburbs of Melbourne says �the combination of a UMPC, a Disto and Bluetooth phone means that the lead time for drawing an accurate property plan and sending it to the client has been reduced from a couple of days to a couple of hours.�
