Samsung ‘Q2′ looks to be the ‘Q1 Ultra’
UMPC News found an image on Samsung’s Taiwanese site that indicates the "Q2" might really be introduced as the "Q1 Ultra" at CeBIT. The image on Samsung’s site looks identical the new Samsung UMPC that will sport a higher resolution screen (1024 x 600 native), a dual-camera solution, the addition of integrated 3G wireless and the split thumb-board.
We’ll have to wait and see in a another two days or so; my educated guess would be that this unit will cost in the $1599 to $1999 range. I’m solely basing that on the price of a Q1P, which is around $1299 right now and adding in premiums for the additional components and functionality. I have no direct knowledge on the product or price specifics.
Do you realize just how BAD a name that is?! “samsung q1 ultra” in Google picks up Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC!! People will never be able to search for this thing! Eejits!
It’d be much smarter if they lowered 1QP down to $1000 and made this thing around $1500 max. When Fujitsu P1610 goes for around $1500 retail with higher res screen, a real keyboard in a form factor that’s around the same physical size, it’s really hard to justify such high price for this thing.
