Thanks Benjamin for pointing that out I thought I put one in there .

James Kendrick of JK on the Run recently bought a Samsung Q1 UMPC. The thing that makes this one diffrent it has a Solid State  32 Gigibyte flash drrive in it.  From what he said in his blog post

“I can tell you so far this baby is really fast!  It does not feel like a Celeron powered device at all and I attribute that to the SSD.  Everything I do happens without hesitation or the famous disk thrashing, even though it only has 512 MB of memory. ”

Well said. Now James if only you could ” send that to me”  ” for free” ( yeah I know it rhymes)

Oh Well Good Luck with it James

UMPC with Slide out Keyboard. Havent we already seen this? Oh wait the SonyUX180P and UX280P are not “UMPC/Origami Device”.  So I guess this is the first (2nd) . So my thought on this I think the UMPC is a cool device but i dont like the Idea but its not going to work with out a phone bult in. With a phone or EVDO you could use skype or the phone phone that is the main reason I think people would buy it.  Well thats my 2 Cents
