According to Digitimes (who got the info from Commercial Times, who got the info from….) VIA have started to ship 100,000 C7-M ULV processors and chipsets for Samsung Q1 UMPCs.
The report states that the processors are for the Q1P but as far as I know, its the Q1b that has the VIA processor as Samsung announced on their German IFA website.
VIA Technologies has kicked off volume shipments of 100,000 ULV (ultra low voltage) solutions, the VIA C7-M processor and VX700 chipset, for the Samsung Q1P Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC). VIA on July 7 announced its VIA VX700 chipset for UMPC devices, together with the C7-M/ULV processors.
100,000. Wow. Things are starting to pick-up in UMPC land. Maybe it’s time for that webserver upgrade.

Hope S company can seriously consider lower price.
For me, if the 5 hrs usage time is true, I’ll buy a Q1B for casual use.
