Otto was using a Samsung Q1 and the Seattle Times took some videos of him using GPS and the media player.

In the video talking about GPS Otto talks about how valuable the ultra mobile PC was for him while he was in Germany. Apparently they weren’t sure how to get the convention center from their hotel so they just plugged in a GPS dongle to their USB port and found it that way.
