Indeed that is what I thought, but in previous posts on carrypad and other UMPC related sites, it was said that the Samsung Q1b would come with 1024mb of RAM instead of the 512mb of RAM of the Q1 has now.

However the better battery life, brighter display, VIA processor and HDSPA still make it a cool UMPC. Upgrading the RAM can be done yourself…

Euros it is.<br/><br/>Steve. I think losing Ethernet and CF slot is worth it. Shame there's no docking solution with the Q1. Thanks JKK. Euros it is.

Steve. I think losing Ethernet and CF slot is worth it. Shame there’s no docking solution with the Q1.
