email to a friendSamsung has its Q1 Ultra UMPCs on display at CeBIT along with UMPC-specific keyboards. With the extra hardware, it's no longer just a UMPC and it's not a laptop either - it's somewhere in between.
Though we originally thought the keyboard defeated the purpose of such a small device, it does have its uses.
The tiny keypad available on the left and right of the Q1 Ultra's screen is hideously small. You really do need pin-point fingers to use it. So, if you're preparing to write a lengthy e-mail, it'd be a good time to dig out your UMPC-keyboard.
On the other hand, you could buy an ASUS Eee PC and save yourself a lot of money. But we must admit, the Samsung keyboard does look the part and the carry case that holds the UMPC and keyboard is very smart.

the Q1 ultra runs vista, with tablet style input. I use it mostly in a vertical hand held, one hand operation mode. Can easily use it like this for quite some time on end.Quote
I'm toying with the idea of doing the 20quid touchscreen mod to the eee :)Quote
the cpu in the ultra is barely enough to run OneNote properly.Quote
the point of a touch screen is more the software behind it and the accuracy of the screen.

I just mentioned it in passing..:O_o1:
I just thought it'd be a fun mod twas all. Accuracy and cpu power shouldn't be an issue for what I want it for..Quote
What i'm meanign to say is that people shouldn't label anything thats portable a UMPC, and therefore them all alike.
The same way a laptop and a mini-itx shouldn't be compared as small pcs.Quote
