SlashGear Japan
SlashGear has been lucky enough not only to get our hands on a Samsung Q1 but the solid-state-disk Via-based version the Q1b. And because we know you love the rustle of packaging and the creak of ripping tape just as much as we do, here’s our boy Vincent Nguyen playing the Christmas Morning Game in another unboxing video.
Stay tuned to SlashGear for further hands-on reports on the Samsung Q1b, including details on just how improved the battery life can be with no moving hard-drive parts!
[edit: Thanks Jenn for pointing out my forgetfulness - the Q1-SSD is the solid-state UMPC, whereas the Q1b is Via-based and loses the CF and ethernet ports in favour of better battery life and a brighter screen]

Great video! I’m hoping Santa will bring me one this year because my UX180P is getting lonely.
Isn’t the Q1-SSD the solid-state version? I thought the Q1b was just the Via-based Q1 minus the CF slot and ethernet port & plus a brighter screen and better battery life.

You’re right, yes – thanks for pointing that out, I’ve updated the article :)
