Today has been a big day for the Samsung Q1 in Korea.
First according to [url=http://www.umpcbuzz.com/blogs/umpc_buzz/archive/2006/04/12/8419.aspx]UMPCBuzz[/url] the website [url=http://www.telecomskorea.com]telecomskorea[/url] is reporting that Samsung is going to release a VIA version of its ultra mobile PC for $700.
I was unable to log in to see the information but the google news item stated, A company official said on Wednesday, “The Via chip-based ultra mobile PC can be priced at slightly over $ 700. The model name is not decided yet.”
So there is no other news to back this claim up, but if true that is good to hear.
Also according to the [url=http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/SITE/data/html_dir/2006/04/13/200604130023.asp]Korean Herald[/url] the Q1 will be released on May 1 in Korea under the name Sens Q1. The device is also expected to have a price tag of almost 2 Million Won or $2,000 dollars. So a bit more pricey than the VIA units so far a nd apossible reason why Samsung may be creating a VIA based system in the future.
