Samsung Q1 Ultra Mobile PC

After weeks of hype and speculation caused over cryptic marketing for Microsoft's Origami project, the first device using the mobile platform has finally been announced. Samsung's Q1 ($TBA) is a paperback-book sized portable computer that features Windows XP, a 7-inch touch-screen LCD, 40GB hard drive, a mobile Intel Celeron processor, 512MB of RAM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The Q1 also offers the innovative Origami Touch Pack interface, which consists of on-screen circular keyboards laid out near the users' two thumbs. The device weighs less than 2 pounds, is about 1-inch thick, and will be released alongside add-ons for GPS, digital TV and more. As more and more public places get Wi-Fi, we could definitely see ourselves packing one these everyt ime we leave the house.
