Yeah, it'd be nice to have some really decent UMPC hardware, also capable of running Vista. The Samsung Q1 is, for me, a huge disappointment, especially at that price. (Native resolution only 800 x 480 at 7"? Only a touchscreen, instead of the much more reliable and durable (no glass touch screen to break) "cyberpen"? Only a Celeron M intead of Pentium-M/Centrino (let's not forget the latter supports Speedstep and, therefore, definitely lower power consumption, while Celeron-M's don't)? All this for $1100 (twice the price of what has been announced at the start of the Origami project)?)

Surely, some other UMPC's like the pocketable (!) Sony Vaio UX seem to be much better than the Samsung - I'd even get one (if they weren't that expensive) as a nice companion to my Thinkpad a31p (alhtought, I'd stick to the latter for anything serious, mostly because of the keyboard, the screen and the excellent expansion - Ultrabay - capabilities).
