Samsungs YP-Q1: visually very attractive For our money, the Q1 is one of the most visually attractive MP3 players on the market. Sleek, svelte and housing a 2.4in, 320 x 240 screen in a smooth and curvaceous body that measures 98 x 50 x 11mm and weig...
The Q1 continues the Samsung tradition of turning out MP3 players that produce a really top-notch sound. This really is one of the best-sounding players about, at least once youve bought a decent pair of earphones. Unfortunately, far too much attenti...

If Bill Gates has his way, Samsung’s Q1 will be your next computer. After more than half a century of computing, the next great leap forward is a Windows-powered tablet with a teeny seven-inch screen and no keyboard. Modern miracle of miniaturisatio...
Touchscreen, 40GB hard drive, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Stacks of connections including two USB ports, 3.5mm headphone jack, Ethernet, TV-out and Compact Flash.
Pretty heavy, lacks battery juice and the vast majority of software isnt designed for touchscreen. Lack of a keyboard is maddening.
Give us back our keyboard Samsung! The Q1 is destined to become a textbook example of innovation without a cause...

Dont call it a tablet PC, or a laptop. This is Project Origami in the flesh - the first Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC), combining PDA, MP3 player, hard drive and PMP.Everything is designed around its seven-inch touchscreen, with a finger-friendly interface...
Windows XP in your hand, Good screen...
Too fiddly, Too heavy, Too pointless...
Samsung has done a great job with the design, but if you can find a decent use for this, email us and let us know.

Imagine our excitement when a brand-new Q1 from Samsung – one of the much-hyped Origami devices that have been in the news so much recently – arrived at . Using the Tablet PC Edition of Windows XP, we were itching to put the Samsung through it...
Kudos to Samsung for being the first to put an Origami device on sale. However, it has plenty to do to make the concept attractive enough to shift a significant number of units, and it certainly isnt going to do so at this price. There are also desig...

Good speaker sound quality. Full-blown Windows XP operating system. Very portable. Resolution toggle button.
No keyboard or optical drive included. Not very good for writing extensively. PDA-like stylus. Slow processor and nonupgradable RAM.
Just another slate tablet that cant replace a true PC, but it makes for a nice portable media player that would be more attractive if it werent so pricey...
