|  The Q1 is one of the first ultra-mobile computers (UMPC) produced under Microsoft's "Origami" project. The Samsung can boot into two different modes, one normal Windows XP (OS can be replaced) and one AVS mode running Windows XP Embedded. The AVS mode boots up much faster and will enable a user to play music and videos. This feature lacks in many other UMPCs.
People have been able to install Microsoft Vista and run this successfully on the Q1 as well. The CF port has by some testers been reported as being very slow compared to using an external card reader in the USB 2.0 port. Future releases could benefit greatly from a fast CF and SD card slot because these devices can also work very good as photo backup and proofing units. Unfortunately, Samsung has removed the CF port altogether in the Q1b version, and chances are that it will be removed in future versions as well.
The Samsung Q1 features the latest communication technologies with 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11bg wireless and Bluetooth 2.0 (EDR) as standard while the twin array microphone allows you to make calls over the Internet using VOIP.
Bluetooth 2.0 Bluetooth technology unplugs your digital peripherals and makes cable clutter a thing of the past. Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, while still backwards-compatible with Bluetooth 1.x, is up to three times faster than its predecessors, offering a maximum data rate of 3Mbps Wired & Wireless LAN Featuring the latest wireless and wired standards, providing uncompromising performance, security
and scalability for fast, flexible connectivity at work, at home, or on the road.
VoIP with Array Mic The twin array microphone gives you the freedom and flexibility to make calls over the Internet using Voice over IP with enhanced noise reduction.
The Q1 utilises the full functionality of a conventional notebook PC for those who demand ultra mobile computing with Intel® Celeron M or Pentium M Processors and Microsoft® Windows XP Tablet OS, displayed on a stunning 7” touch screen.
Flexibility Take advantage of external keyboard, mouse, and printers to use Q1 as a primary note book PC. You get all of the power and standard features of Windows XP in a light weight, versatile design Display View Images on the stunning 7” Wide touch screen in a lightweight design.
